Telehealth Support Program
The AACP received funding from the Federal Government to establish a dedicated Telehealth Support Program to provide information and support for consultant physicians and paediatricians who wish to participate in Telehealth consultations as a means of providing additional services to patients in rural areas where consultant physician services may not be readily available locally.
As part of our Telehealth Support Program we enlisted the services of IT specialist Tony Crawford - a brief bio is following.
Tony is the IT Consultant for Cobram District Health Medical and Dental practice responsible for the procurement and implementation for the clinics hardware, software, disaster recovery and remote access.
Tony is a consultant for the Victorian Government schools. His involvement is with the Technical Support to Schools Program (TSSP) which helps schools and the Education Department to manage and support their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) environment, provides a foundation for continuous growth, improvement and innovation in ICT services to support learning outcomes.
As a qualified and fully trained Regional Dell and Fujitsu Service Provider, Tony has been able to provide services to a wide range of clients including Victoria Police, Target, Coles and Office Works.
For ten years Tony was owner/proprietor of Cobram My Computer. Cobram My Computer was a forerunner in the community providing such services as troubleshooting, training, Internet and networking solutions to various local companies.
The telehealth support program affecting as it does rural communities is a logical extension on Tony's work in rural Victoria.
