Virtual Services Project Advertising Campaign

Thursday, September 27, 2007


In recent months, the SWARH team have been working on an advertising campaign to make the public more aware of the Video Conferencing facilities available to them throughout the district.

This has resulted in the development of a new VISP logo, posters which will be displayed in all health agencies that provide Video Conferencing facilities, and an extensive advertising campaign which will include advertisements in local newspapers and also on local television.

A new VISP information line will also be established in the coming weeks to provide assistance for those wanting to use Video Conferencing facilities at their local health agency.

The SWARH Virtual Services Project includes:

  • Virtual Reception: Remote communities will have 24-hour access to a video unit, located in a community facility, permanently connected to the main reception of the nearest hospital. This will allow patients to speak to the reception of the nearest hospital, via video, to receive initial assessment and advice on further treatment.
  • Virtual Assessment: The emergency department of South West Healthcare Warrnambool campus, which is staffed 24 hours a day, will have specialist staff providing advice and guidance through videoconferencing to smaller emergency departments which have only general nursing staff and limited access to a local GP. This will enable smaller hospitals to treat clients with complex/specialist issues locally.
  • Clinical Monitoring: Clinical monitors (measuring vital signs) in regional hospitals and health care agencies where no local specialist is available will be connected to Barwon Health via the SWARH intranet, to enable vital signs to be professionally interpreted and monitored by cardiac specialists. Specialists will also be able to react to emergencies from their rooms or homes through internet access.
  • Virtual Communications for the Deaf: Educational programs, critical early language intervention services, and support will be provided to families of hearing impaired and the teachers and schools of multi-disabled students through video conferencing as an adjunct to face-to-face contact.
