    Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to facilitate and scope an initial project and a call for proposals to deliver a common service that allows clinicians to securely and easily connect using online videoconferencing and desktop sharing. Initially Phase 1 (proof of concept) was set to be the common service delivered between: NT Department of Health, WA Country Health, and Aboriginal Services Alliance of the NT (AMSANT) Members However this has now changed to be a large project for development of a National Telehealth Infrastructure Service which has four Phases. Phase 1 will be provded to early adopters NT Department of Health, WA Country Health and AMSANT members. Phases 2, 3 and 4 comprise extending this service to include: Phase 2: cross jurisdictional connection; Phase 3: inclusion of non-standards based technologies Phase 4: addition of in home and community based monitoring service Phase 1 will allow eventual scaling of the common service above to a National Telehealth Service and will provide advice for the requirements definition of the project. NICTA performed this study through a combination of: A short response written survey A two-day workshop, with experts for identifying key issues relating to telehealth requirements in several health jurisdictions. The workshop used various brainstorming techniques including facilitation and independent voting. The emphasis of the workshop is captured in Figure 1. This work carries on from the previous workshop held on behalf of the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy held April 2010.
