Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Rural Health
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • E-health implementation and feasibility remain undefined in health reform.
  • Royal Flying Doctor Service South East Section (RFDS SE) can leverage technology for remote healthcare.
  • Study explores e-health readiness in remote New South Wales and RFDS SE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess e-health readiness of remote populations and RFDS SE.
  • Identify barriers and enablers for e-health adoption in remote settings.
  • Inform tailored e-health implementation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured telephone surveys with patients attending RFDS SE clinics.
  • Surveys conducted with RFDS SE health staff and managers.
  • Utilized an established survey tool for quantitative and qualitative data.

Main Results:

  • Moderate core-readiness for e-health; technical competence and availability are barriers.
  • Willingness to learn and engage are key enablers.
  • Patients express interest in video consultations for mental health and specialist access, with concerns about replacing face-to-face services.

Conclusions:

  • Patients, providers, and RFDS SE are interested in e-health for improved healthcare.
  • Technical capacity and organizational support are significant challenges in outback settings.
  • Identified needs allow for a custom implementation strategy to overcome technical hurdles.
