A new Telehealth Centre opened today at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane may cut travelling time for South Burnett patients with specialist medical appointments.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Lawrence Springborg joined doctors at the PA Hospital this morning to witness a live consultation with a patient 200km away.<\/p>\n

Mr Springborg officially opened the new PAH Telehealth Centre with Federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Senator Stephen Conroy.<\/p>\n

He said the new centre would make healthcare more accessible to people living in regional and remote Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt allows rural and remote patients to connect \u2018face-to-face\u2019 with specialists and clinicians, without having to travel hundreds of kilometres from their homes or local hospitals,\u201d Mr Springborg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis centre will deliver specialist services including those in the areas of cardiology, endocrinology, dermatology and geriatrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI live in regional Queensland so it is great for me to see Prof Len Gray from the PA talking face-to-face with a patient in my electorate at the Warwick Hospital \u2013 it is truly remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The centre is part of the $5.1 million Princess Alexandra Hospital Online Outreach Services project (PAH Online), which is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Digital Regions Initiative program.<\/p>\n

The introduction of PAH Online will complete Telehealth connectivity between the PA Hospital and regional centres such as Kingaroy, Dalby, Warwick, Roma and Mt Isa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPatient consultations, previously conducted by telephone, will now be provided via video conferencing.<\/p>\n

“This makes enhanced treatment options, access to patient records and improved care coordination all possible,\u201d Mr Springborg said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
