Further details regarding this package are listed below.
This training package is one of the three workforce capacity building strategies identified in The Allied Health Telehealth Capacity Building Scoping Project, a joint initiative of the Allied Health Professions' Office of Queensland (AHPOQ), Health Service and Clinical Innovation Division, Department of Health and the Cunningham Centre, Darling Downs Health.
This package is designed to increase clinician capability in the use of telehealth for the delivery of allied health clinical services in Queensland Hospital and Health Services.
The package is presented in three sections:
Service redesign modules
These modules are designed to assist allied health teams to scope the potential for telehealth implementation in their service and identify the elements and processes involved in preparing for and conducting telehealth consultations.
Clinical examples
These clinical scenarios are designed to assist allied health professionals to explore the potential applications of telehealth, including identifying potential technology options and clinical modifications.
Resource library
The resource library contains literature, templates and example documents to assist allied health teams to implement telehealth in their service area. The Evaluation Resource Guide can be accessed here.
The package is available online, on demand, and modules can be completed in any order.
This education package is suitable for allied health professionals and allied health assistants employed in Queensland Health's Hospital and Health Services, and for allied health professionals and allied health assistants external to Queensland Health by consultation with AHET.
