dc.description.abstractWe calculated the cost of providing allied health assessments to high dependency residents of a rural facility for elderly people The costs of conducting assessments via videoconferencing were compared with the costs of conducting assessments face to face The observed costs in a three month pilot trial were used to estimate the annual costs Given an annual workload of 1000 occasions of service each videoconference assessment would cost dollar 84 93 compared with dollar 90 25 for face to face assessments Allied health assessments delivered by videoconferencing became cheaper at workloads of approximately 850 occasions of service annually Additional increases in the workload further improved the financial viability of this approach to service delivery
