What is this article about?

In March 2020, the federal government expanded Medicare-subsidised telehealth services in order to avoid the unnecessary exposure of patients and healthcare professionals to COVID-19. As of January 2022, many of these expansions have become a permanent component of Medicare. Therefore, if your organisation offers telehealth services, you should know which technology, equipment and software to use, how to set it up and how to ensure video and audio are high-quality.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
