eHealth is the cornerstone of the Australian Health Reform Commission's recommendations for improving healthcare in Australia.
Person-controlled electronic health records have been billed as an opportunity to improve the quality of health care, reduce waste, and promote consumer participation and informed decision making.
However, eHealth relies on sophisticated individual who makes informed decisions based on a set of variables - is this how you would describe your clients or yourselves?
How will eHealth work for disadvantage? Is it a tool for greater inclusion or greater exclusion?
This special hypothetical takes us into a future where eHealth is an everyday reality, and explores what can go right and wrong with our eHealth status.
