Telesteps- Steps to Success
Where will we start?
How large should my Telehealth programme be?
How do we select appropriate people or patients?
What equipment should be used?
How much will the programme cost to set up?
How will we get paid?
How can we afford to run the programme?
What are the legal ramifications?
Will the staff buy into the technology?
Will the referring clinical staff and social carers object?
Will there be a positive impact on patient clinical outcomes?………
These and many more critical questions need to be answered before starting a Telehealth programme.
The Alere Advantage
