Funded Activity Summary

The Alice Springs Hospital Readmission Project is a collaboration between Alice Springs Hospital and the Baker IDI in Central Australia. Recurrent readmissions can lead to hospital overcrowding and remove a person from their community. The project will investigate whether a tailored discharge planning and case management approach for adult patients with complex chronic disease is beneficial in reducing recurrent readmissions to hospital and facilitating engagement with primary care services.
