Leveraging information technology to monitor the health and outcomes of residential and community aged care clients
Project description
This program of research utilises data from providers’ electronic information systems to monitor residential and community care outcomes. This includes investigating variation in risk-adjusted pressure injury rates between facilities, and the effectiveness of community care services to keep people at home for longer.
Another research project currently underway, aims to analyse the health status of people in residential aged care by using all data available in electronic health records. Please see more information on the aged care health status algorithm and how to access it.
