Piloting a continuous quality improvement framework to strengthen quality of care in Aboriginal residential aged care (Old ID 27413)
Rachel Quigley
02 Nov 2021 - 31 Dec 2024
This study responds to concerns raised in The Royal Commission report, 2021 that the Australian aged care system struggles to effectively manage people with complex care needs. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a method designed to improve the capacity and readiness of health services/staff to meet pre-determined goals/standards, and the quality of treatment and care, and implement health interventions. This project aims to assess the suitability of the CQI model for improving the quality of care in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) by developing and implementing a CQI framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander RACF.

Rachel Quigley
14 Mar 2024 - 31 Dec 2026
The aim of the present research is to; (1) document the rates of unrecognized cognitive (dementia) and psychiatric conditions (depression, PTSD, anxiety) in older adult patients who are referred to the CHHHS delirium clinic, and (2) explore patient and carer experiences of the new Delirium Clinic. Specifically, this study aims to investigate whether access to a delirium follow-up service results in better coordination of care, increased patient and carer well-being, and an improved health care system experience. 24/001391
