Funded Activity Summary

Community Health Workers (CHW) have an important potential role in bridging the transition between hospital and community. With consumer co-researchers and our partners, we will co-design a model of CHW follow up and support care following hospitalisation. We will then conduct a trial to evaluate their implementation and impact on hospital readmission, health outcomes and value for money. With our partners, we will then translate them into policy, and practice.
