Northern Health to expand virtual ED to nursing homes and COVID care pathways

Written by Pulse+IT| | Australian eHealth

Melbourne’s Northern Health has been provided with extra funding to roll out its Victorian virtual emergency department (VVED) program to people living in residential aged care facilities and those on the COVID positive pathways program, including supporting access to antiviral treatments.

The extra funding will also go towards doubling the VVED capacity to allow 500 patients per day to access a video consultation with an emergency doctor or nurse from their own home.
