Clinical Pathways in residential aged care facilities
This project aims to improve RACF nursing staff understanding of the management of acute care needs of residents, through training in selected clinical pathways.
The project is:
- delivered by a nurse practitioner who has expertise in the clinical care of people living in residential aged care
- offering clinical coaching to embed learnings
- focusing on strengthening the communication between RACF’s and the Regional Aged Care District Assessment and Referral Service (RADAR).
Clinical pathways were developed by Clinical Excellence Queensland.
For more information email agedcareprojects@brisbanenorthphn.org.au.
