Congratulations Dr @_emma_thomas for receiving a 2020 Postdoctoral Fellowship! Dr Thomas' research will look at ways to integrate telehealth services into cardiac rehab, and help heart patients in their recovery. @uniQLD@UQ_COH
Head-to-head comparison of 📞 vs 💻 video #telehealth lead by @UQ_CHSR COH. Seventy-nine papers across multiple disciplines in health care: 50% of studies show #video to be superior, 35% find both phone and video to be equal in their effectiveness. More 👇🏼
Super research here from @Oohgpwales @trishgreenhalgh and team into #PatientSafety in #RemoteConsultations
Non clinical staff need flexibility around ‘rules’ of #TotalTriage
Clinical staff need better telephone consultation training
This is what Patients should know to help
ALT Advice for patients infographic ‘How to get the most out of your telephone appointment’.
Implementing a #Virtual ED in a QLD Metro HHS was:
✅Effective: 70% of triaged patients avoided the physical ED
✅Safe: only 1.2% of Virtual ED managed cases unexpectedly required hospital admission within 48 hrs
✅Acceptable and grew in demand

Now out - a nice collaborative effort looking @ Expanding access to telehealth in Aus #CR services academic.oup.com/ehjdh/artic…
- most CR services have capacity & readiness to provide hybrid (in-person & telehealth) care but require specific supports to enable this.
For now, many prefer to conduct physical examinations & assess exercise capacity in-person - more work is required in this space to enable this to be done well remotely. However, more education and supervised exercise training could be delivered remotely to bridge access gaps
So much happening in the international #CR space. If your service doesn’t have a method to capture high quality data then I highly encourage the use of the @ICCPR registry —- now with the option of certification and suitable for low resource settings. Please share wisely
Have you heard about ICCPR’s latest initiatives?
