In 2010, there were 1.02 million people 65 years of age and over
living in NSW, and this is expected to double by 2050. However, for a growing
number of older people, this will include living with complex health needs such
as dementia and other chronic diseases. Currently, care is fragmented
between different healthcare providers in community, primary health and acute
care settings.
The
Building Partnerships Framework published by the Agency for Clinical Innovation, provides the most comprehensive look yet at how
to integrate services for older people with complex health needs and introduces
a vision of multi-sector partnerships that involve older people, their carer
and families every step of the way.
