The dashboard was developed using a co-design approach with IT experts, aged care staff and decision makers and palliative care representatives. The dashboard builds upon what many aged care IT systems already collect and uses the ELDAC Care Model to report data about care at the end of life.

A scoping activity was undertaken to explore the opportunities and challenges of health IT integration in the Australian general practice setting. Three studies were completed and we are welcoming interested individuals or organisations in discussing the digital integration of GP- aged care palliative care processes.

The care worker app project aims to develop and evaluate an app that could support Australian aged care support workers (care workers) in supporting their care of older Australians approaching the end of life in the home care setting.

This project aims to build a national database of palliative care projects conducted (in the past and present) in Australia. Users will be able to search for projects in the database by text words or by various filters such as advance care planning, bereavement or tools.

We are looking at developing an interactive online self-care tool specifically for the aged care workforce. This tool will allow aged care workers to identify their self-care needs and provide interactive and practical tips and resources to address those needs.

Many people find searching for research articles difficult. We will be developing a validated search filter on “home care”. We will then use this search and combine it with a range of other topic searches such as dementia or family.
