Catch up with us as we dive into a jam-packed month of initiatives and product updates!
This month at Coviu we were excited to shed light on many of the important professions that exist within the healthcare industry and the work being done to combat health issues in Australia. We celebrated Allied Health Professions Day to extend our thanks to all the hard-working AHPs who work tirelessly on the frontline in hospitals and in the community.
We also recognised Mental Health Awareness Day on the 10th of October. As a software provider that supports thousands of mental health practitioners, it was important to us to bring awareness to the mental health crisis in Australia. One in five Australians are affected by mental illness annually, yet many don't seek help because of stigma. Through our virtual care engagement platform, we are proud to provide Australians with choice, easier access and convenience making it less daunting to reach out for help.
Finally, we are excited to round off the month by celebrating Telehealth Awareness Month! Whilst telehealth adoption has steadied, more and more clinicians and patients are adapting to a hybrid model of care. Data shows that between March 2020 - July 2022, more than 118 million telehealth services were delivered to 18 million patients in Australia.
In honour of National Telehealth Awareness Month and this year's theme 'Telehealth Mythbuster' we debunk some common myths related to telehealth! Let's dig in!
