Updates in digital shared care: Launching into the 21st century
The roles of shared electronic health records, secure electronic communication and consultation, electronic patient portals and telehealth in enhancing healthcare accessibility and management of chronic diseases are individually explored. Infrastructure for future inter-electronic medical record integrations are then discussed. Innovative care models combining novel technology and shared care hold promise for more efficient, patient‑centric healthcare systems. Given Australia's unique healthcare challenges, it provides the ideal environment to lead the way in the digital transformation of shared care.
