The ability to access healthcare services is vital for the overall well-being of individuals. With the rapid development of technology, these services have evolved significantly over time, providing opportunities to expand access and improve healthcare delivery.
Telehealth platforms have emerged as a prime example of this evolution, connecting patients and healthcare providers regardless of distance. Chair of the ‘NZ Telehealth Forum’ Dr. Ruth Large joins us to discuss the ‘Patient Anywhere Clinician Elsewhere’ concept as set out in a recent NZTF white-paper. This paradigm shift aims to provide alternative options for patients needing flexible healthcare solutions.
Plus podcast host Jon Duffy examines the prevalence of D.I.Y home health tests in Aotearoa. He does this in his own particular way... By pooing in two sample jars and posting them to the Hawkes Bay. As we discover it's all in the name of science and mapping his microbiome. While the information provided by these tests may be interesting, it’s crucial to comprehend the implications of the data and recognise the limitations of this technology. Chair of the Gut Foundation Dr. Richard Gearry talks us through Jon’s results and highlights issues surrounding the general public's ability to interpret the data.
For more information on the PACE model you can view the white-paper on the NZ Telehealth Forum Website.
