Historical Trends of Home Care Package Use for Older People in Australia, 2008 –2021
The global population is aging, and the health and social care needs of older people become increasingly complex. The diverse demographic, along with an increased preference of aging in place, has altered the demand and provision of long-term aged care services, both in quantity and type. In Australia, long-term aged care services can be delivered at home through the Australian Government Home Care Package (HCP) Program,1 or in nursing homes (also known as aged care facilities2). The HCP program was introduced in August 2013, consolidating 3 types of community-based care packages that operated since 1985. (Source: Journal ...

Evaluating the Association Between the Implementation of the PoET (Prevention of Error-Based Transfers) Southwest Spread Project and Palliative Care Provision: A Quasi-Experimental Matched Cohort Study Using Population-Level Health Administrative Data
The PoET (Prevention of Error-based Transfers) project seeks to align long-term care (LTC) home informed consent practices to existing legislation, thereby reducing consent-related error-based transfers to acute care. We sought to measure changes in resident-level palliative care provision after participating in the PoET Southwest Spread Project (PSSP), and to identify patient and LTC home characteristics associated with palliative care provision.

Feasibility of a Nurse-Led Intervention to Reduce Urine Dipstick Testing in Long-Term Residential Aged Care Homes
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat driven by excessive antimicrobial use.1 AMR rates in Australian long-term residential aged care homes (RACH) are higher than in community or hospital settings.2 Antibiotic usage is increasing,3 with urinary tract infection (UTI) the most common infection treated in this setting.4 Point of care urine dipstick testing (UDT) commonly triggers antibiotic prescribing even in the absence of symptoms.

Comment on “Malnutrition and Polypharmacy in Older Adult Patients Receiving Home Care Nursing Services: A Cross-sectional Study”
In a recent issue of JAMDA, Fiske et  al1 examined the nutritional status among older adults receiving skilled home nursing care by demographic data and use of prescribed drugs. The authors found notable findings that the risk for malnutrition was higher in older individuals who were living with others than in those living alone. Inte restingly, they also reported that nonpolypharmacy (≤5 drugs in regular use) was an independent predictor of malnutrition risk in this population, suggesting that the relationship between malnutrition and polypharmacy needs to be examined in more detail.
