Digital enablement

Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) recognises that there’s no substitute for personalised healthcare from a trusted GP or health professional. However, we also understand the increasing need for smarter solutions that offer people and communities more choice and control over their care and personal information.

What is digital enablement and how can it help my practice?

Broadly, the term digital enablement or digital health refers to any form of healthcare support that is delivered electronically. This may include electronic health records, electronic referrals, secure messaging between providers, and telehealth.

Digital health is also helping to improve our health system by streamlining referral pathways and providing better integration between services.
