Caring for the Last 3%: Telehealth Potential and Broadband Implications for Remote Australia

[摘要] Australians living in remote regions of our nation live with far poorer health outcomes than those in our regional and urban areas.

Telehealth, the provision of health related services at a distance using technology assisted communications, offers a means to narrow this gap by improving the level and diversity of services in remote areas.
