Understanding how you use telepractice (referred to as telehealth for the purpose of data collection): myotherapy

Telehealth survey for myotherapists

This telehealth survey is for members who treated patients since 1 March via remote (telehealth) consultation.

The survey aims to begin establishing an evidence base for telehealth in Australian myotherapy. In completing this survey, you are:

Helping us understand rates of telehealth use/uptake in myotherapy

Helping us lobby for an extension to telehealth items and/or permanent telehealth items in third party schemes (if a priority for you)

Helping us to describe how you work, what you do and with what benefit to third party funders, consumers and external audiences

Helping us gather initial data that could inform a rigorous university study into myotherapy and telehealth.

All responses received to the survey are confidential and only broad trends captured will be reported.

Questions about this survey can be addressed to CEO Anna Yerondais at ceo@myotherapy.org.au

Please set aside roughly 25-30 minutes for completion.
