Virtual Outpatient Integration for Chronic Disease (VOICeD) allows people to see multiple healthcare providers at one appointment, from anywhere they have internet. Co-designed with consumers, VOICeD uses existing telehealth technologies and security to improve equity of access and complements face-to-face care. The Cairns Diabetes-Renal-Cardiac trial showed 100% positive patient experience (fewer appointments, less travel, one plan, easier and preferred), Positive feedback from clinicians, 350% reduction in patient time in clinic.
