Queensland Health has released a 10-year digital strategy for rural and remote healthcare, promising to move the state’s healthcare system from digital ready to digital by default in the next decade.

The strategy builds on the 2016 digital health strategic vision for Queensland and its accompanying eHealth investment strategy, and envisions that all rural and remote health services across the continuum of care support highly mobile and digitally enabled workflows, with ubiquitous telehealth, virtual and integrated care.
