Need for Change
MLHD: 260, 000 people located over 125, 000 sq km
Increasing aging population: >65 yrs in 2011 (16%) and in 2031
(26%)
Increasing WWRRH rehab episodes 200 to 250 over 5 years
Increasing WWRRH acute bed access > increasing utilising
beds in smaller sites

QI Project underway…..
Develop service specific guidelines to
determine when telehealth assessments
are appropriate to be utilised
![Page 15: MLHD Outreach Rehabilitation Service · Acknowledgment to the Out-Reach Team’ presentation 2017 – this presentation has been adapted form Sarah McLaughlin Occupational Therapist](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040619/5f2d840fafceaa2e97491dc4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Project Aim
Identify inappropriate situations
Determine when high priority telehealth assessments are necessary
Develop clear criteria to assist rotating staff to adopt technology
Determine and address assessment and treatment
skills/adaptations needed to implement (clinicians and AHA’s)
Reinforce uptake of telehealth as alternative
Facilitate all hub based disciplines to implement the technology

Challenges
Behaviours
– Smaller within group discussions not able to be heard by team
members on telehealth
Sound
– Room acoustics
– Internet connection
– Equipment (speakers/computers some more ideal than others)
– Privacy (implementing known privacy and confidentiality procedures)
ensuring no one else enters room
Linking with external organisations
– Unsuccessful to date for example with Universities for research
collaboration
Clinical practice change
– Confidence in the ‘unknown’

Patient Story
Norm is a 68 year old man who
lives in Burcher NSW. Burcher is
118 km from Temora and 206 km
from Wagga Wagga.
Norm had a fall sustaining
incomplete spinal injury in April
2016. After spending 6 months in
Sydney Prince of Wales spinal
unit he was discharged home
using a wheel chair and slide
board for transfer.
![Page 18: MLHD Outreach Rehabilitation Service · Acknowledgment to the Out-Reach Team’ presentation 2017 – this presentation has been adapted form Sarah McLaughlin Occupational Therapist](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040619/5f2d840fafceaa2e97491dc4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Norm’s long term goals were to
walk again, be able to transfer in
and out of their car and get out of
his chair independently. Norm
travelled to Temora weekly to see
the out-reach team in Temora. He
also travelled to Wagga Wagga to
see senior physiotherapist and
Rehabilitation consultant who were
monitoring and supporting the
team with his progress. The senior
physiotherapist often used pexip to
support and advise the out-reach
clinicians on the weekly visits.

Norm progressed until he was
able to mobilise with a high arm
support frame and after 9
months he was admitted to the
Wagga Wagga Rehabilitation in-
patient unit for a boost of rehab
to progress his mobility.
Norm walked out of the Wagga
Wagga Rehabilitation Unit on a 4
wheelie walker, is able to get out
of his chair and is able to transfer
in and out of their car.
