Abstract
AimTo canvas the contemporary contextual forces within the Australian residential aged care sector and argue for new research and innovation. There is a pressing need to provide systematised, high‐quality and person‐centred care to our ageing populations, especially for those who rely on residential care. This paper advances a warrant for establishing a new systematic framework for assessment and management that serves as a foundation for effective person‐centred care delivery.DesignPosition paper.MethodsThis paper promulgates the current dialogue among key stakeholders of quality residential aged care in Australia, including clinicians, regulatory agencies, researchers and consumers. A desktop review gathered relevant literature spanning research, standards and guidelines regarding current and future challenges in aged care in Australia.ResultsThis position paper explores the issues of improving the quality and safety of residential aged care in Australia, including the lingering impact of COVID‐19 and incoming reforms. It calls for nurse‐led research and innovation to deliver tools to address these challenges.ConclusionThe paper proposes an appropriate holistic, evidence‐based nursing framework to optimise the quality and safety of residential aged care in Australia.Patient or Public ContributionThis study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, conduct, or reporting.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Advanced Nursing (JAN) contributes to the advancement of evidence-based nursing, midwifery and healthcare by disseminating high quality research and scholarship of contemporary relevance and with potential to advance knowledge for practice, education, management or policy.
All JAN papers are required to have a sound scientific, evidential, theoretical or philosophical base and to be critical, questioning and scholarly in approach. As an international journal, JAN promotes diversity of research and scholarship in terms of culture, paradigm and healthcare context. For JAN’s worldwide readership, authors are expected to make clear the wider international relevance of their work and to demonstrate sensitivity to cultural considerations and differences.
