Telstra Health is moving into the second phase in the development of the National Telehealth Connection Service (NTCS), which will allow hospitals and external healthcare providers to hook into health-grade telehealth networks through a common platform that also handles scheduling, referrals and clinical document exchange as well as a virtual meeting room for video conferencing.
Telstra Health was contracted last year by the Northern Territory government to begin the first phase of the project, which involved proof-of-concept technical and clinical trials in two Aboriginal communities to build them a private, secure video connection service solely for telehealth.
