This is the first edition of the Residential Aged Care Practice Change. Rather than looking at deaths in Aged Care facilities brought to the attention of the coroner it is looking at improvements resulting from changes in practice at individual Aged Care Services.
Just a reminder.
The aims of the Communiqué are:
• To improve the awareness of clinicians, health workers, carers and those in positions of governance about adverse events resulting from systems failures. Lessons from past cases can then be applied to their own institutions.
• To improve residential aged care workers’ understanding of the coronial system and the work performed by the Clinical Liaison Service.
You can subscribe by email at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine with the communiqué becoming available online much later.
