Digital Health in your practice
Last revised: 29 May 2025
There are a number of considerations when using digital health in your general practice including:
Data privacy and security
Sensitive business and patient information need to be protected.
Interoperability
You should consider digital systems that can share data and have been developed using recognised and accepted standards.
Digital literacy
Digital technology should be easy to use for both GPs and patients and there may need to be support and education or alternatives available for anyone not comfortable with technology.
Implementation costs
The initial cost for digital health infrastructure and training can be significant.
Resistance to change
Good change management strategies are needed to overcome potential resistance from your practice team and patients to adopting new technologies.
