- Abstract
The article examines the acceptance and cost of a ward-based geriatric consultation service that is facilitated through mobile videoconferencing. The study took place in the geriatric unit of Toowomba Base Hospital in Queensland and compared a specialist consultation service delivered through videoconference with the usual in-person service. The study concluded that videoconference consultations are an acceptable alternative to in-person consultations.
