HIS 9251   Special Topic: Introduction to Telehealth and Telecare

Course Description
Fiscal constraints and increasing demand for health and social care are posing significant challenges to care provider organisations. Recent advances in telehealth and care technologies have offered health professionals a plethora of equipment that may assist them to rise to these challenges and provide safe, effective and efficient care. Researchers are working with technology developers and purchasers to evaluate and enhance these technologies so that they are used appropriately. This course aims to give students a clear understanding of the rationale behind the introduction of telehealth and telecare, and key issues to consider when implementing a technology-supported clinical service.
