Service to Hospitals
We understand that supporting patient discharge from hospitals into Aged Care can involve;
1. Involve High Stress
Once a hospital is registered, clinicians, social workers and discharge planners can easily refer cases to the Aged Care Placement Team in order to have their discharge into residential aged care expedited. The referral can be made manually, or via the Aged Care Placement Portal. The referral process is designed to be streamlined, so clinicians of all disciplines can access and refer patients quickly and efficiently.
2. Require Urgent Care
Clinicians will also be able to track the progress of an individual patient through the placement process, from referral to discharge to successful placement.
3. Need 24/7 Support for Family and Other Stakeholders
At Aged Care Decisions we know that hospitals do not work on a 9 to 5 schedule, so with our Aged Care Placement Portal referrals can easily be made online at any time.
