The 50 DRGs with greatest HIH activity encompassed 65 811 HIH admissions (82.1%), or 8.4% (95% CI, 8.4–8.5%) of all admissions in these DRGs. HIH admission numbers grew more rapidly than non-HIH admissions, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: HIH care is most frequently provided to patients requiring hospital treatment related to infections, venous thromboembolism, or post-surgical care. Its use could be expanded in clinical areas where it is currently used, and extended to others where it is not. HIH activity is growing. It should be systematically monitored and reported to allow better overview of its use and outcomes.]]> Tue 05 Jul 2022 15:56:43 AEST ]]> Assessing patterns of home and community care service use and client profiles in Australia: a cluster analysis approach using linked data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15842 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:15 AEDT ]]> Experiences of older people following the introduction of consumer-directed care to home care packages: a qualitative descriptive study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44703 Fri 21 Oct 2022 08:15:43 AEDT ]]>
