TELEHEALTH
what is telehealth?
Telehealth generally refers to the use of technologies like email, phone, SMS or video connection to provide medical care or education over a distance. It allows for the exchange of health data between a practitioner and patient in separate locations.
In Australia, telehealth is often defined more narrowly to mean online video consultations between health professionals and their patients. The convenience of telehealth makes it especially popular among busy families.
WHAT PLATFORM WILL THRIVE CHILDREN’S THERAPY USE?
Zoom Video Communications is a remote conferencing services company that provides remote conferencing services that combines video conferencing, online meetings, chat, and mobile collaboration.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY
Zoom is an end-to-end encrypted program, which means that no-one is able to access the content of the call/meeting except those in attendance. As with all our sessions, any information provided within the session will be kept in strict confidence and comply with State and Federal privacy policies. If recording of any part of the session is required, we will ask for your consent in advance. Any recordings will be stored securely by Thrive Children’s Therapy.
EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPY
There is evidence supporting the use of online sessions for speech therapy, indicating that these services are usually at least as effective as standard therapy.
Your clinician is doing additional training in current best practice online therapy models, to ensure that they are still providing quality, evidence-based practice.
