Linkage Strategies
The ELDAC Linkages Program uses evidence-based practices to promote inter-organisational linkages. This includes linkage strategies which include practical methods and resources that can be employed across services of all sizes, locations and serving all populations.
Within each Linkage Strategy a range of activities can be undertaken to realise the strategy. For example, improved communication pathways can include implementation of handover forms and tools, standardised referral forms, referral pathways and shared care plans. Role clarification can be a formal, facilitated process involving large teams, or can be an intentional structured discussion between two providers.
