Around half of aged care residents receive evidence-based care
How many aged care residents receive care based on the best available evidence? We all want this for the people we serve – but what’s really happening?
This ‘CareTrack’ paper reports on the first Australian study of adherence to evidence-based care for people in long-term care using a standardised method. The study examined the care received by 294 residents across 27,585 care encounters in 25 long-term care (aged care) facilities.
