Overview
The 2016 Rural & Remote Telehealth Conference has four main aims with a particular emphasis on sustainably embedding telehealth enabled service delivery models in rural and remote communities:
- Facilitate shared problem solving, learning and innovation
- Identify opportunities to enhance and integrate the telehealth capability of both the public and private health systems.
- Develop strategies to involve patients, carers, clinicians and policy makers to increase and sustain momentum for improved telehealth services.

A variety of workshops, oral talks, and electronic posters will be presented throughout the conference addressing the following themes:
- Getting ready for the Technology Tsunami: How do we find clarity in the chaos.
- Digital Literacy – what level does Telehealth require for health professionals and patients.
- The great divide between primary care and acute care: Can it be bridged by Telehealth.
