摘要：

This study reviews the outcomes of a model developed to improve the quality of care of residents living within residential aged care facilities (RACF). The Southcare Geriatric Flying Squad saw a total of 640 acutely unwell RACF residents over an 18-month period. Of these, 578 (90.3%) were managed in the RACF avoiding emergency department. Only 35 (5.5%) patients required emergency department transfer and 27 (4.2%) were directly admitted to a medical ward. The service may have reduced emergency presentations by offering rapid assessment and management, choice in place of treatment and level of interventions.
