Framework for integrated support and management of older people in the NSW health care system
SummaryThe Framework aims to guide and coordinate necessary improvements to service delivery for older people in NSW and to achieve a level of consistency in approach across the State. The anticipated outcome of this integrated approach to service delivery is twofold: the consumer (ie. the older person and their families/carers) will more easily access the services required to meet their needs; and NSW Health will deliver timely and appropriate services that meet the needs of the consumer. Two standards with associated criteria have been developed to facilitate consistency and best practice in the coordinated support and management of older people in the NSW health care system. The principle underpinning these Framework standards is that older people in NSW are entitled to timely and equitable access to services which support their ability to remain as independent and healthy as possible and able to participate in community life.
