Coviu CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. Silvia Pfeiffer went live on LinkedIn to discuss transitioning to telehealth!

Are you a health care practitioner trying to determine if telehealth is appropriate for your practice or client consultation? Let's dig in!

General Practitioner, Dr. Andrew Baird has described practicing during the COVID-19 pandemic as “challenging, exciting, interesting, depressing, upsetting and fraught – all of those things together”. But his experience in shifting towards a telehealth practice has highlighted how video consultations can often be just as effective as in-person consults – if not more.

Coviu CEO and Co-Founder, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer went live on LinkedIn to discuss Industry Trends in Digital Healthcare.

Patients are in the midst of a telehealth love affair, which offers many growth opportunities for doctors in private practice. Now, it’s time to drill down into telehealth usage statistics to help us understand telehealth adoption rates and satisfaction levels to create a clear picture of how telemedicine is changing Australian healthcare.

As much of the nation faces tougher COVID-19 restrictions, telehealth uptake is once again soaring. Video consultations allow for continuity of care, building rapport, improving efficiencies, reducing costs and keeping the community safe.

The healthcare industry is constantly evolving. More so than ever in the past year, where we saw a massive industry shift from in-person care to virtual care delivered via telehealth due to the worldwide pandemic. A shift that forced us to rely on a digital led society showing us that we are able to live in a blended digital and physical world.

The Australian federal budget announcement has been made! Telehealth services will be extended until 31st December 2021 with a further $204.6 million investment.

Statistics show that 44% of Aussies say they would switch GPs to one that offers video telehealth.
