Health staff priorities for the future development of telehealth in Western Australia
Rural and Remote Health, 08/10/09

Bahaadini K et al. – The response rate for managers and doctors was 51% and 43%, respectively. The first priority of the managers was wound care (28%). The first priority of the doctors was psychiatry (35%). The collective priorities of the two groups were similar, with managers listing wound care, emergency, psychiatry and ophthalmology; and doctors listing psychiatry, wound care, emergency and ophthalmology. Prioritizing potential telemedicine applications is a subject largely absent from the literature. When planning future telehealth applications, the opinion of local health staff who understand the requirements of patients in their region will assist in identifying real needs and lead to the provision of better health services for rural patients.
