10 health care homes sites announced
24th August 2016
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has announced the 10 pilot sites for the government’s health care homes initiative.
And pharmacists are looking forward to playing a crucial role in the project, says the PSA and the Guild.
Under the trial, GP clinics will be paid to co-ordinate care of enrolled patients with chronic disease, including care by specialists and allied health professionals.
The PSA says including a pharmacist in the team has the potential to reduce poly-pharmacy and preventable medication-related hospital admissions and readmissions.
