Brief description The increase and acceleration in demand for emergency healthcare by the elderly is a key issue facing health policy makers. This fellowship will compare utilisation of emergency health services by elderly populations of two large Australian cities, Perth and Melbourne; and test whether an Emergency Department (ED)-based intervention reduces the likelihood of re-presentation to ED and/or hospital admission to hospital. The results will provide valuable information for service providers and policy makers.
