Editor's Notes
- So you might expect that this would result in poorer health outcomes in more remote areas, and this is indeed the case. Life expectancy is one measure of health outcomes, and this graph compares life expectancy for both genders of four groups of Australians. Those living in rural areas have shorter life expectancy, remote dwellers even shorter. On the right, we can see that the Australian aboriginal population has significantly poorer health outcomes, and this is true of both urban and rural aboriginal populations.
- One of the earliest Australian innovation in telemedicine was the formation of the Royal Flying Doctor Service in 1928. It used aircraft and innovations such as the pedal radio to deliver healthcare to some of the most remote parts of Australia. Today the RFDS continues to fly doctors and patients around outback Australia, but it increasingly uses telemedicine techniques, and today nearly one in 3 of their patient consults is by telemedicine.
