The impact of telehealth and telecare on clients of the Transition Care Program (TCP)

This report outlines the findings of a randomised controlled trial of Telehealth and Telecare in the management of frail older people who are receiving post-acute care in their own homes under the Transition Care Program (TCP). Results of this study demonstrate numerous benefits to clients receiving post-acute care augmented by Telehealth and Telecare solutions. In particular, clients experienced improvements in personal wellbeing, particularly in perceptions of health, safety and future security. The Project Research Team was from Southern Cross University and was funded by the Department of Health and Ageing.
