Funded Activity Summary

Sixty-thousand Australians die every year in residential aged care facilities but the quality of their end-of-life care varies. The IMPART program aims to improve palliative care in residential aged care using telehealth. We provide training and palliative-geriatric support to aged care staff and general practitioners to enable timely end-of-life discussions, improve documentation of care preferences, reduce avoidable hospitalisation and improve residents' quality of care at the end of life.
