Description:

This could lead to increased impact of disease, reduced productivity, and poorer quality of life. The Continuity of Care Collaboration (CCC) is a unique and first of its kind communication collaboration of over 35 Peak Bodies, Industry and Healthcare Organisations coming together to stress the importance for people to continue with monitoring their health status and conditions to ensure optimal long term health outcomes are achieved. The CCC is advocating for people to continue with their health management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to communicate consistently the importance of looking after your health, whether that is managing a chronic health condition, getting preventative screening tests or pathology tests, or seeking immediate treatment and care if you have urgent and/or new symptoms. Our objective for the #DontWaitMate campaign is to help people, patients and carers in Australia feel safe to continue to go and see their doctor, nurse, pharmacist, allied health professional and dentist, and to also not put of tests such as blood tests, cancer screening or x-rays and scans. Your health is our priority. There are measures in place to help people feel safe to access their health care needs remotely, such as Telehealth, e-prescribing of medicines, home delivery of medicines. If people do need to physically go to a clinic or hospital, personal protective equipment, regular cleaning and distancing measures are all in place it is all about patient safety. Patient safety and continuity of care is extremely important, particularly for those patients who have chronic and complex diseases or conditions, vulnerable populations, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. There are mounting concerns that Australians are not maintaining their regular doctor visits for existing chronic conditions and/or putting off seeing their doctor to get a test, investigation, or immunisation due to fears of contracting COVID-19 or burdening the health system.
