WVPHN Telehealth Implementation in RACH Program - Residents, family and carers

Welcome to our survey

Western Victoria Primary Health Network (WVPHN) is providing funding to residential aged care homes (RACHs) in Western Victoria to improve access to ‘telehealth’. Telehealth is when we have appointments with doctors and specialists (such as geriatricians or oncologists) through the telephone or video calls. The funding is being used to improve internet connections or purchase special devices so that more residents can have healthcare appointments from the home.

Larter Consulting is an independent evaluator, hired by the WVPHN to evaluate this program. The aim of the evaluation is to examine the following:

Do residents have access to telehealth?
Are residents using telehealth?
What are the benefits of telehealth?
What are the challenges?

We are inviting residents, family members and carers to share their telehealth experiences by completing a brief survey. This survey is mostly multiple-choice questions and will take about 5 minutes to complete.

NB: This study (2023-10-1299) has been approved by the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee.
