Early Identification of Disability to Inform Better Care and Outcomes in High Risk Patients

澳大利亚在医院存活率方面取得了显著改善。我们面临着人口老龄化的挑战，医疗资源需要优先考虑良好的价值护理，明确识别不会从侵入性和昂贵的干预措施中受益的高危患者。这项提案采取了必要的下一步措施，使卫生服务提供者能够预测有持续残疾风险的患者，优化出院计划，并衡量长期健康结果。

Australia has achieved marked improvement in hospital survivorship. We face the challenge of an ageing population, and healthcare resources need to prioritise good value care, clearly identifying high-risk patients who will not benefit from invasive and expensive interventions. This proposal takes the required next step to enable health providers to predict patients at risk of ongoing disability, optimise discharge planning, and to measure long-term health outcomes.
