Frequently asked questions

Virtual care is designed to complement, not replace, in-person care. It enables health practitioners to remotely assess residents, monitor vitals and review wound healing — reducing the need for disruptive transfers while maintaining clinical quality. Complex presentations may still require in-person review.

Visionflex virtual care solutions provide real-time video, high-resolution imaging and consistent vitals capture, allowing clinicians to conduct thorough remote assessments. Residents are supported by an on-site nurse or carer, ensuring continuity and safety throughout the consultation.

By removing geographic barriers, virtual care enables aged care facilities to access GPs, geriatricians, wound care specialists and allied health practitioners remotely — expanding the clinical workforce available to residents regardless of location.

Visionflex virtual care solutions are designed to support compliance with Australian aged care quality standards, including privacy, clinical governance and culturally safe care requirements. Providers should confirm specific regulatory obligations with their compliance team.

By enabling on-site clinical assessment and earlier intervention, virtual care reduces the need to transfer residents to hospital for conditions that can be safely managed in place. Evidence suggests virtual care can reduce avoidable admissions by 20–40%.

Virtual care lets aged care nurses connect a resident to an emergency doctor before calling an ambulance. With live vital signs and examination data, the doctor can often treat the resident in place or arrange follow-up, avoiding an unnecessary transfer.

At minimum, a reliable video connection. For urgent or emergency consults, integrated devices such as an examination camera, digital stethoscope, ECG, pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitor give the remote doctor enough clinical information to make a confident decision. A Virtual Care Cart or Virtual Care Cabinet brings these together in one unit.
