Summary

What is Case Conferencing with South West HHS?

In August 2023, Telecare was commissioned to expand its Virtual Multi-disciplinary Team Case Conferencing (MDTCC) service to South West Hospital and Health Service in Queensland, addressing fragmented healthcare services and unmet healthcare needs.

Building on Telecare’s existing case conference model, this expansion supports a vast region spanning 3 hospitals and 9 GP services—bringing specialist input closer to where patients already receive primary care.

What to expect

The hybrid virtual MDTCC model supports consistent, high-quality care across the region—improving outcomes while reducing travel and isolation for complex cases.
