Their key objectives are to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services to patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes, and improving coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.
As part of these key objectives, this consortium of PHNs has made this training freely available to all Commonwealth funded residential aged care homes and remote clinical providers consulting residents, Australia wide.
Participating PHNs include:
- Brisbane North PHN
- Coordinare – South Eastern NSW PHN
- Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN
- Eastern Melbourne PHN
