Brief description Australia has achieved marked improvement in hospital survivorship. We face the challenge of an ageing population, and healthcare resources need to prioritise good value care, clearly identifying high-risk patients who will not benefit from invasive and expensive interventions. This proposal takes the required next step to enable health providers to predict patients at risk of ongoing disability, optimise discharge planning, and to measure long-term health outcomes.
