It is the position of Dietitians Australia that clients can receive high-quality and effective dietetic services such as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) delivered via telehealth Outcomes of telehealth-delivered dietetic consultations are comparable to those delivered in-person, without requiring higher levels of additional training nor compromising quality of service provision Dietitians Australia recommends that policy makers and healthcare funders broaden the recognition for telehealth-delivered dietetic consultations as a responsive and cost-effective alternative or complement to traditional in-person delivery of dietetic services The successful implementation of telehealth can help to address health and service inequalities, improve access to effective nutrition services, and support people with chronic disease to optimise their diet-related health and well-being, regardless of their location, income or literacy level, thereby addressing current inequities

Is the corporate transformation of hospitals creating a new hybrid health care space? A case study of the impact of co-location of public and private hospitals in Australia

Digital twins, succinctly described as the digital representation of a physical object, is a concept that has emerged relatively recently with increasing application in the manufacturing industry. This article proposes the application of this concept to the healthcare domain to provide enhanced clinical decision support and enable more patient‐centric, and simultaneously more precise and individualized care to ensue. Digital twins combined with advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to facilitate the integration and processing of vast amounts of heterogeneous data stemming from diversified sources. Hence, in healthcare this can provide enhanced diagnosis and treatment decision support. In applying digital twins in combination with AI to complex healthcare contexts to assist clinical decision making, it is also likely that a key current challenge in healthcare; namely, providing better quality care which is of high value and can lead to better clinical outcomes and a higher level of patient satisfaction, can ensue. In this focus article, we address this proposition by focusing on the case study of cancer care and present our conceptualization of a digital twin model combined with AI to address key, current limitations in endometrial cancer treatment. We highlight the role of AI techniques in developing digital twins for cancer care and simultaneously identify key barriers and facilitators of this process from both a healthcare and technology perspective.

The role of AI for developing digital twins in healthcare: The case of cancer care

The physiotherapy profession in Australia appears to have been caught unawares by the rapidly changing demography of health services and now seems to lack a clear identity and vision. Despite being a highly competitive profession to enter, attrition rates are high. This paper reflects on the history of physiotherapy in Australia and the dichotomy of paradigms it now faces, and suggests a possible option for the future, given that existing physiotherapy roles appear difficult to sustain in our current health care climate.

Physiotherapy in Australia - Where to Now?

Preparedness for physiotherapy in private practice: Novices identify key factors in an interpretive description study.

Healthcare in Australia is a mixture of private enterprise and publicly supported programs. The total expenditures in 1997–1998 were $47.3 billion dollars, representing 8.4% of gross domestic product (GDP). Approximately 68% of the $47.3 billion overall health costs comes from commonwealth, state, and local governments. The remaining 32% is made up of direct charges to patients, health insurance premiums, and other nontax sources.2 In Australia, there are two complementary systems of health insurance. The biggest and most well known is Medicare, a publicly funded compulsory scheme, run by the commonwealth government, which covers basic medical and hospital care for all Australian residents. The second is the private health insurance system, which also covers basic medical and hospital care, as well as additional insurance for dental care and superior accommodation facilities in public and private hospitals. The government has recently encouraged people to enroll in private health insurance plans, and introduced a Medicare surcharge for highincome earners without private health insurance, a 30% rebate on insurance premiums, and lifetime health coverage for early and longterm health fund membership, especially for young people. Medicare contains two components: hospitals and other medical services. Medicare is administered by the Commonwealth government and is funded by a levy linked to general taxation. The Commonwealth allocates funds to the states and territories as part of an agreement, which is renegotiated every 5 years, from which they provide public hospital and related services. The Health Insurance Commission makes payments directly to medical practitioners and patients for medical services provided in the community. This mixture of funding sources and administrative structures reflects the general attitudes of Australia, as a federation and its commitment to public support for social welfare.
