Optimising Health Care in the Home for Older Australians
Centre of Research Excellence
The Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Optimising Health Care in the Home for Older Australians unites leading national and international experts to improve care coordination, health outcomes, and strengthen the sustainability of Australia’s health and aged care systems.
Led by Flinders University (CIA Professor Gillian Harvey), the ROSA Research Centre is part of the consortium of leading institutions involved in this National Health and Medical Research Council funded CRE.
As Australia’s population continues to age, more consideration needs to be given to those who choose to live out their lives at home, rather than enter residential aged care.
- Working alongside a network of health and aged care providers and consumer organisations, the CRE will deliver key projects including:The use of big data to profile the population receiving aged care and characterise successful ageing at home
- Digital tools to prevent falls and injuries
- Microlearning programs for aged care workers
- Shared-care models to improve transitions between hospital and home
- Establishment of an Aged Care Observatory to monitor care pathways and outcomes in real time.
