Home Visiting Doctor and Telehealth
commcare.health connects health and social care by providing access to Mobile GP – our daytime home visiting doctor. By doing this, we make sure that you get the treatment you need, when you need it, at home. This helps you avoid ending up in hospital!
It also means that your care team is working with your medical team, so everything is well co-ordinated. No more confusion because of fragmented care. Mobile GP – brings peace of mind.
Telehealth
One powerful way technology is helping people at home these days is via telehealth.
This service allows you to have a consultation with your doctor or other medical specialist via the telephone or video. As a service that combines home and health care, commcare.health’s Home Care is able to facilitate telehealth in an efficient and timely manner.
Essentially, all our home care staff are encouraged and empowered to consider any unmet medical needs of clients. If they notice anything of this nature that needs attention, with your consent, they promptly report this to your care manager, who can organise a telehealth consultation with your GP, the next time that carer is at your home. Or, that a face to face appointment with your GP is booked, and we help you organise the transport. This way, you know that you are being well looked after, and that any medical needs are being adequately identified and met.
We consider our ability to get medical matters attended to promptly and in-house in a professional way a distinct advantage of our service.
