Effective Telehealth Delivery
The Digital Health CRC (DHCRC) has developed two telehealth micro-learning modules in partnership with Western Australia Country Health Service, La Trobe University, Curtin University, Advanced Personnel Management and Obvious Choice.
Target audience:
Nurses and Allied Health professionals (with potential relevance to other healthcare professionals).
Aim:
Uplift capability and confidence in telehealth delivery.
Learning pathway structure:
Two consecutive modules (basic and advanced) that take four weeks to master.
The format helps participants develop a ‘little and often’ continuous learning habit by engaging them in a few minutes of microlearning via a mobile phone app each day.
Next intake
DHCRC will be advertising the next intake in 2024. Participants who complete the learning pathway will be issued a digital badge verified by DHCRC.
