Intervention(s)
|
|
This cross-sectional study explores key factors in the decision to move into residential care for patients who have been admitted to hospital from home. The study uses short, semi-structured interviews to examine the issues from the perspective of the patient, primary carer and relevant ward staff. This is an observational rather than an interventional trial. The duration of the study is 6 months.
|
|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
|
This observational trial addresses 3 key questions: 1) What has changed as a result of the injury or illness that led to your hospitalisation?; 2) who requested the Aged Care Assessment (ACAT) and what decision has been made regarding future accommodation and care needs?; and 3) what were the key factors in the decision to move from hospital to residential aged care?
|
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
|
A secondary outcome is to document patient, carer and social work perceptions of the process of moving from hospital to residential aged care and how the process might be improved.
