EDUCATION overview
Aged care staff play a crucial role in supporting residents during their later years. Recognising and responding to deterioration in a resident’s condition is a vital clinical skill that enables clear communication with facility staff, families, and carers.
Accurate recognition of deterioration ensures that residents receive exceptional, personalised care and that staff are prepared to provide care aligned with the resident's values, preferences, and goals.
Timely recognition and response to deterioration helps minimize unnecessary escalation and transitions from the preferred place of care. It also supports facilities in ensuring medications are appropriately prescribed and deprescribed, keeps families informed about the care and symptoms, and can prevent unnecessary hospital or medical interventions.
