Ellerston and surrounding regions.
Residents in rural communities like Ellerston sometimes face difficulties in accessing medical care, especially outside regular clinic hours. Inconveniences such as long wait times at a local hospital or ER are commonplace. In many cases, the closest medical centre is many miles away, presenting an additional challenge to accessing required medical services. 13CURE is tailored to help overcome these challenges.
It is common knowledge that distance and time are important factors in rural NSW. This is why 13CURE actively strives to provide timely and easily accessible health services that do not involve long travels or sitting in congested waiting rooms. Our after-hours home doctor service aims to serve the demands of remote regions by offering doorstep medical care well past normal clinic hours.
With us, you receive the care you need quickly and effortlessly.
Although the home doctor service after hours has positive refrains, its effectiveness, along with its practicability, raises other issues. Let's look at some of such, which 13CURE tried to address.
The argument for dealing with home-visited patients after hours is that they do not provide any specialised resources, which makes them less effective compared to clinic visits. This is a result of the lack of advanced medical devices available in clinics and hospitals.
Counter: Home visits definitely do not provide the same specialised paraphernalia as are found in clinics. However, for a variety of conditions in the home setting, 13CURE's doctors have experience.
They bring along prescription pads and other relevant tools to treat various common illnesses. If additional treatment is identifiable, a GP can also issue a referral or further arrange care as necessitated by the situation. The GP will send the patient or refer the patient as appropriate to the local medical centre or emergency department if the requisite instruments are more advanced and deep waiting diagnostics.
It is countered with some forms of medical consultation that happen remotely. Telehealth might replace the traditional in-person home visit for many ailments.
Response: Those types of medicine that are distinctly different from telehealth medicine should include biology and, first and foremost, the need for a physical examination. Treating asthma attacks, minor injuries, and severe dehydration is easier and more efficient if the patient is examined and treated immediately during the action. The need for doctor home visits stems from those situations where the use of phones or computers is incapable of offering the requisite remedy. Moreover, availability is a pertinent concern when we see that not everyone has access to the wide area network; in fact, people living in the countryside are the last ones served on the waiting list.
Reduced services in bulk billing also raise concerns about the quality of care provided. There might be low consultation time while greater expenditure and rushing of appointments are set in place.
Response: The bulk billing policy alone is rapidly being mishandled with poor-quality services.

Using bulk billing allows us to extend affordable healthcare services to residents in rural NSW. No corners are ever cut, and the standard of care remains high with bulk billing as well.
