Over the last few years, the use of 'telehealth video consultations' has gained more traction in the healthcare space. This has resulted in a continuous string of academic studies being published, discussing the effectiveness of telehealth video consultations, particularly in speech pathology.
The results are overwhelmingly positive. So much so that Speech Pathology Australia, the national peak body for the profession in Australia, published a position statement in 2014 supporting the use of telehealth to assess and treat clients.
Since then, countless studies have proved that telehealth video consultations achieve comparable results as face-to-face care. One study found telehealth language assessments to be reliable and feasible for children with autism. Another one discovered the cost benefits of offering telehealth services for clinical swallowing assessment, whilst a different study achieved comparable results from telehealth vs face-to-face assessment of intellectual ability in children.
