Hospitals—aged-care assessments
(Question No 2820)
Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 29 November 2019:
(1) In relation to the answer given to the question taken on notice on 19 September 2019, what was the average number of days patients remained in hospital after receiving the results of an Aged Care Assessment Team assessment, in (a) 2016-17, (b) 2017-18 and (c) 2018-19.
(2) In (a) 2016-17, (b) 2017-18 and (c) 2018-19, of those who remained, how many remained due to a medical condition or other circumstance that required continuing hospitalisation.
Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Although ACT Health Directorate and Canberra Health Services do not collect data on the length of time patients are waiting for suitable accommodation following an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) assessment, there is data available from the Report on Government Services (RoGS) that might be relevant to the Member’s question.
RoGS 2019 shows that the median elapsed time between ACAT approval and entry into residential aged care in the ACT was 98 days for Home Care levels 1 to 4 in 2016-17. This compared to the national median elapsed time of 67 days for the same year. In 2017-18, median elapsed time was 164 days for the ACT and 137 days nationally. Data for 2018-19 is not yet available through ROGS.
Elapsed time is a measure between ACAT approval and entry into residential aged care due to factors which may or may not be related to ‘wait time’. It should also be noted that elapsed time could happen at or outside of the hospital.
The RoGS 2019 report can be accessed at: https://www.pc.gov.au/research/ongoing/report-on-government-services/2019/community-services/aged-care-services/rogs-2019-partf-chapter14.pdf
