The company was formed with the vision that patient health care would be improved if patients had more access to allied health services. We provide the services of physiotherapy, exercise physiology, dietetics, psychology and podiatry to general practitioner clinics that wish to improve the access of services for their patients and achieve healthier outcomes. We believe that patient health management is optimized when the patient referral transit time is minimized and therefore we developed our services to be accessed from the clinic where the patient is treated by their regular doctor. This has already anecdotally resulted in improved patient compliance and better patient health management from the clinics we currently work with. It is a common issue faced with treating doctors whose patients have difficulty accessing the necessary services to improve their health. This is often due to many reasons including a lack of allied health services to smaller communities, rural location, out of pocket expenses, difficulty acquiring patient transport and difficulty securing an appointment in due time. We believe that all patients should have better access to allied health services and have developed a business model to facilitate this multi-disciplined approach. My Health Team was initially used by 2 clinics on the Gold Coast and has now partnered up with over 10 clinics in South East QLD with ongoing interest from many others. In a society with increasing numbers of chronic disease cases we believe we can assist in curbing this trend by working in close unison with local general practitioners and believe all Australians should have access to the appropriate health services.
