A new quality of life instrument with older people for economic evaluation

本项目旨在开发和验证一种新的基于偏好的生活质量测量工具，并将其应用于老年护理。新的工具将与接受老年护理服务的老年人一起开发，并将重点放在将他们的价值纳入生活质量的衡量和评估中，以进行经济评估。新工具将立即应用于质量评估和经济评估，改善澳大利亚老年人的生活质量和福祉，并将帮助确定新服务和现有服务的相对成本效益。

This project aims to develop and validate a new preference-based quality-of-life instrument with applications in aged-care. The new instrument will be developed with older people receiving aged care services, and will focus upon incorporating their values into the measurement and valuation of quality of life for economic evaluation. The new instrument will have immediate applications in quality assessment and economic evaluation, improving the quality of life and wellbeing of older Australians, and will assist in determining the relative cost effectiveness of new and existing services.
