Ka Ora Telecare is delighted to inform rural practices of their recent successful procurement of the National Rural Telehealth Contract.
After a highly competitive procurement process, Practice Plus, Reach Aotearoa and Emergency Consult have established a combined service called Ka Ora Telecare, integrating all their value-add services to provide a model of care for your practices and the priority whānau you care for.
The aim of the service is to provide rural communities with effective and sustainable afterhours access, through providing a high-quality after-hours telehealth medical service while supporting the rural primary care workforce as best we can and preserving your business model and on-going sustainability.
Pinnacle is working closely with Ka Ora to engage rural practices across the network. Shortly, we will invite rural practices to be involved in this service, so please expect contact from us within the next 10 days.
Please take the time to read the stakeholder letter.
