Sažetak
ABSTRACT: Australia has three main sources of data on older persons • The Survey of Disability Ageing & Carers (SDAC) • The Aged Care Assessment Program (ACAP) • The Aged Care Funding Instrument.(ACFI) These sources have different histories, and lack common fields to allow cross-source studies. For example, adding fields on behaviour and complex health needs to SDAC would allow better models of the probability of entering residential aged care. The ACAP and ACFI data are stored in AIHW’s National Aged Care Data Clearinghouse. Subject to ethical and privacy requirements, linked records can be used to examine the sometimes complex movements between the community and aged care. Some form of multi-state or microsimulation model is needed to properly model the competing processes involved in aged care, and to make quantitative projections. As much use as possible should be made of existing data for the quality indicators currently being tested by the Department of Social Services.
