The increase and acceleration in demand for emergency healthcare by the elderly is a key issue facing health policy makers. This fellowship will compare utilisation of emergency health services by elderly populations of two large Australian cities, Perth and Melbourne; and test whether an Emergency Department (ED)-based intervention reduces the likelihood of re-presentation to ED and/or hospital admission to hospital. The results will provide valuable information for service providers and policy makers.

老年人对紧急医疗保健需求的增加和加速是卫生政策制定者面临的一个关键问题。该研究金将比较澳大利亚两个大城市珀斯和墨尔本的老年人对紧急卫生服务的利用情况;并测试急诊科（艾德）为基础的干预是否降低了再次出现艾德和/或入院的可能性。研究结果将为服务提供者和决策者提供有价值的信息。
