Investigators: Mark Bartlett (CI), Efty Stavrou, Liz Hay, Glen Pang This project aims to describe the health service use (both community and acute) in the older person with complex health needs, and has the following two objectives:
  1. To describe the nature of service use (occasion of service by service type), both community and acute care, in the older person with complex health needs (that is, people aged 65 years and older with a health condition consistent with the ‘geriatric syndrome’)
  2. To compare service use in the older person with complex health needs to an equivalent group of people without ‘geriatric syndrome’.
