The 45 and Up Study- exploring met and unmet needs for home care in NSW
Investigators:
Louisa Jorm (PI), Hal Kendig, Julie Byles, Hilary Bambrick, Robert Pedlow and Lynne Parkinson
Project aim(s):
This project will provide detailed information, not previously available, about who uses HACC services in NSW and why. Questionnaire information from the 45 and Up Study, linked with HACC MDS and NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection will be used to explore older people’s capacities to remain in the community, their use of HACC and hospital services, and the factors (personal, environmental and service-related) that influence these. Information from the project regarding met and unmet needs for care will inform the planning of HACC services.
