Environmental scan (outer context)
dementia
An environmental scan was conducted as a desktop review by the project team to assess the broader health care context, defined as the ‘outer context’ within the i-PARIHS framework. This included a review of relevant programs and policies nationally, and evidence relating to hospital avoidance and the aged care sector in Queensland. Multiple websites of peak bodies, private providers and government departments were searched including Council on the Ageing, Aged and Community Services Australia, Australian Association of Gerontology, Royal Australian College of General practitioners, Department of Health and Aged Care, and the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.Key search terms included hospital avoidance, residential aged care, aged care, dementia, and frailty.
