The aim of this study was to explore clinicians' perspectives on and experiences of the utilisation of a pilot telehealth model and its integration into a specialist community palliative care programme. The study was conducted in a metropolitan specialist palliative care service in South Australia. Introducing this technology challenged the team to critically explore aspects of current service provision.
