Funded Activity Summary

Chronic illness is becoming more common in Australia as the population ages and as medical technology saves more lives from heart attack, diabetes and stroke with people suffering from these conditions then requiring continuing community care for years. How best to link hospital and community health services to serve patients at the beginning of their illness when they first come to hospital is the object of Care Navigation, a program based at Nepean Hospital in Western Sydney and surrounding community.
