Achievements

The Acute Care Taskforce has a history of working consumers, acute care clinicians and health system managers on the following:

• a clinical management plan that is commenced on admission and revised throughout the inpatient journey.
• multidisciplinary ward rounds that involve all members of the health care team including patients and their families.
• a meaningful estimated date of discharge that is entered on admission, revised throughout the patient journey and includes what a patient is waiting for (e.g. waiting for what?).
• criteria led discharge for patients with simple discharges.
• planned transfer of care, within and between care settings, which involves the patient, their families and/or carers.
