Aged Care Emergency Service
Clinical Support for Aged Care Facilities
The Aged Care Emergency (ACE) service provides triage, consultancy, clinical support, and advice for Residential Aged Care Facility staff, so that care for residents can be delivered in the facility where appropriate, and transfer to hospital is avoided.
If the patient does need to be transferred to hospital, the ACE clinicians can facilitate the process and provide information about the patient to hospital staff prior to admission.
