RAP media thread., page-1338

The following pages are excerpts from Australian Doctor - a weekly GP magazine.

It's a comprehensive report on the recent petition signed by 2340 GPs to extend telehealth beyond September 2020 .

Highlighted in yellow is a graph showing overwhelming support from GP circles for telehealth to continue. Also highlighted are numerous testimonies to show the multifaceted benefits of telehealth. I particularly want to draw your attention to some of the highlighted cases where ResAppDx could have easily been added to not only save the patient, but also the doctor, and the government as it would save lots of money.

Clearly, the proves that telehealth is not only popular with patients, but also VERY POPULAR with GPs.

This should flush out the widespread perception that doctors are technology laggards and anti-telehealth. It should also lay to rest any concerns that telehealth funding will cease any time soon. I think medicare funding for telehealth will become a permanent fixture, without a doubt.
