5. The following actions are being undertaken to improve wait times:

• Actions to recover services impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown.

• Scheduling practices have been reviewed to optimise clinic times.

• Services are undertaking audits on wait lists.

• Implementation of telehealth appointments, with uptake of these appointments increasing.

• Health Pathways is being refreshed to support General Practitioners to manage their patient, ensure referrals are made at the appropriate stage and with all the required information.

• Establishment of nurse-led and allied health clinics to support medical specialist outpatient clinics which enables access to more timely screening to determine whether specialist review is required and for post-specialist follow up.

• The Digital Health Record which will be implemented later this year and is expected to make significant improvements in the management of services as a result.
