Western Victoria Primary Health Network (WVPHN) Is investigating how digital technology could help with remote monitoring of health conditions.
Remote Patient Monitoring is being increasingly used in primary health care to help remove barriers for patients who may currently face issues with attending regular appointments including people living in rural and remote areas and those with mobility difficulties.
Western Victoria Primary Health Network wants to ensure the way Remote Patient Monitoring is used in western Victoria meets the needs of both health professionals and the community.
That is why we are inviting the Clinical Council to a consultation process to ensure the technologies and delivery models we identify and choose to recommend are best suited to the needs of both patients and practitioners in western Victoria. This will be completed by the end of April 2024
During September, we met with people with lived experience of chronic conditions across western Victoria. WVPHN will share insights from these community sessions and will seek clinicians’ views and input on:
• addressing identified consumer needs
• clinical needs and guidance on the proposed models
• understanding what would ensure its effectiveness in the primary care setting
The project is part of WVPHN’s three-year Digital Health Strategy that aims to streamline processes, improve access to care, and increase knowledge around individual and community health needs. The findings from this codesign and consultation will be used to:
set standards for digitally enabled models of care and the implementation
inform future tender specifications
advise the health care sector on remote monitoring models and other digital health topics

Using insights from the community workshops on preferred remote monitoring tools, western Victoria’s primary health care providers will be asked to discuss whether the proposed tools:
Are fit for purpose and would feasibly achieve the desired outcomes and
Are practical to introduce and use with minimal barriers.
We will also consider potential supports required to introduce the selected RPM tools into clinical IT systems and capabilities.
This is an online session to be held on Wednesday 18th October 5:30-6:30pm

This is an online session to be held on Monday 16th October 5:30pm - 6:30pm.
We are holding a series of face-to-face community workshops to hear from people with a chronic condition, their families, carers and other support providers on their needs and preferences regarding the best possible technology for ensuring they are well-supported and encouraged to undertake self-care at home. This will include discussions on the possible barriers you may face using digital technologies at home and the supports you would require for overcoming such challenges.
