CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 SCOPE AND STRATEGY OF NSW EHEALTH 3 STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS 4 RECOMMENDATIONS 5 CONCLUSIONS 6. REFERENCES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The NSW is rolling out ambitious plan of “enabiling ehealth” which is aimed at providing universal accessibility of health care to all the patients. It is strategic to look into limitations and strengths of the reforms and planned for the future for its sustainability. Strengths of the plan such as telehealth and to provide quick access to patients need to be implemented.
With the uberization of healthcare and telehealth we often feel overwhelmed by the push for telehealth. As independent advisors, Ingenium Telehealth Consultants will work with you to determine which services will be successful, appropriate and the best way to integrate technology into the care delivery processes. Several benefits have been identified as a result of telehealth services being introduced. Increase the accessibility of and to professional caregivers Increase the quality and continuity of care to patients Increase the focus on preventive medicine through early intervention Reduce the overall cost of healthcare Education and training Contrary to vendor solutions, one size does not fit all.
Medical technologies and apps are relevant to solving most of the challenges affecting Suburban Independent Clinic(SIC). The implementation of mobile technologies will improve the efficient and effective delivery of care to the patients visiting the clinic. Mobile devices and its application will facilitate SIC patients to have 24/7 access to their medical records, refill their prescriptions, complete medical forms online, send emails and video chat with their doctors, thus leading to a better opportunity of managing their conditions. Patients will have other options available for scheduling their appointments. With improved mobile technology and apps, patients could schedule their appointments using text messaging, email, web app.
The most commonly reported telemedicine services were tele-psychiatry and tele-cardiology, followed by telestroke and teledermatology. Exhibit 2 provides an overview of respondents’ affiliations and respective
These results are not completely logically due to the fact of the unavailability there is of this technology, not all collegiate and youth programs are going to have access to telemedicine, making it not logical. Aside from this, the information is still reliable and sufficient. The authors organized the information all in one section, but inside of this it is still relatively simple to
Telehealth is an up and coming form of virtual medical care that has entered the health care industry the past few years. Telehealth allows the medical professional provide care to the patient without an in-office visit. Types of care that you can get through telehealth include receiving results, mental health treatment, skin conditions, urgent care issues (cold, coughs, and stomach aches), surgical follow ups, physical therapy, and prescription management (telehealth.gov, 2023). After the presentation my perception of telehealth did change.

Telehealth offers real-time communication where a patient consults with a physician or where a nurse practitioner consults with a specialist through a link. In such cases, the patient can access primary care without going to the clinic. Reaching patients at home saves not only travel times and related practitioners and patients expenses but also improves patient survival as well as recovery. Effectiveness of the TELEHEALTH (ethical-legal issues) The effectiveness of telehealth technology is affected by issues of ethics, costs of infrastructure and legal issues.
In response to Sheryl Turkle’s essay “No Need to Call” wherein she states “Technology is always on, always at work, and always on call”, (Turkle) I believe with advances in technology almost everyone uses some sort of technology to communicate. Technology with the control of communication is good because it engages the homebound population, enables quick communication, and distributes information globally. Primarily, technology with the control of communication is good because it engages the homebound population. With advances in technology people who are homebound have the opportunity to interact with their doctors by phone, by email, or by facetime without leaving their homes.
The technological advancements have not only helped nurses to be better informed, but have also helped the clients to be better informed. Informed patients and families can help the nurses and HCPs by speaking up about symptoms they have noticed that the health care team may have been unable to witness or may have look past. Technology being available to everyone is mostly a good luxury, at the same time, many people can be misinformed and cause more trouble demanding treatments or care that are unsuitable for them because they read about it online. 3.

The world depends on technology. More than fifty percent of the population uses technology, that is over 3.5 billion people! But does technology really help the society? Has it improved our lives or does not improve our lives? Electronic devices and online access does not improve our lives.
Now after that digital optimization became the baseline for consumers across different fields, the healthcare industry has been forced to relinquish some of its supremacy and adjust its methodology to the patient experience. This was seen happening with the “Uberization” of medical appointments. As a host of companies like MedZed, and Dispatch [1] have made ocean of on demand-apps for house/office calls. Half a century ago, nearly half of the doctor visits were at home, by the early 90s the trend vanished.
Everything around us might affect positively or negatively on our bodies and health. People all around the world have different body sizes. Some people have Normal weight, some are overweight, and some are obese. Individuals with BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered to have normal weight, if BMI is between 25.0 and 29.9 they are overweight, while people with BMI 30.0 or greater are obese. Obesity is gaining extra calories from food that contains carbohydrate and sugar.
Actually, one of the biggest problems and is not taken into account is the fact that as technology gets to cover a large part of the lives of all people making itself indispensable, but at the same time causing multiples problems by overuse. This causes many problems especially within families, such as the lack of communication between parents and children, affecting the relations of the children with their friends. We will talk about how to live with the technology in different types of families according the social stratum; in how each one live and how different are the problems of each family. The family division is one of the most important consequences because of technology, if is not handled with prudence.
