Main outcome measures: (1) ED event rate per 100 RACF beds; (2) Number of ED events, day/time, triage category, reason, comorbidity profile, length of stay, death within 12 months of ED presentation and costs; (3) Relationship between resident characteristics and total ED events; (4) Number of inpatient events, comorbidity profile, length of stay, intensive care use, preventable hospitalisations, diagnosis-related group, deaths and costs.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The rate of ED presentations from Victorian RACFs from 2015/16 to 2022/23 ranged from 77 to 91 ED events per 100 RACF beds. Associated costs for ED and inpatient stay were over $2.8B. An advance care directive or substitute decision maker was unavailable for 84% of ED events. Eighty-seven per cent of residents presenting to ED were admitted; 90% for medical DRGs.

This study highlights a significant gap in advance care planning (ACP), with causes potentially linked to inadequate planning, poor document quality or lack of accessibility. To enhance hospital-RACF interactions, it is essential to identify and address unmet palliative care needs at policy, planning, and practice levels, ensuring person-centred care for residents in their final years.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11604,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Medicine Australasia","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1742-6723.70092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
