About Us
This position sits with the Residential Aged Care Acute Support Service (RASS). The service operates across Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service sites and externally at Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs). Working in partnership with internal and external stakeholders, the service provides an emergency department (ED) substitution service where appropriate and in keeping with stated goals of care.
The service aims to improve the capacity of clinical staff and optimise the quality of care to residents of aged care facilities and improve the choice of care setting for residents with acute health care needs, where these needs exceed the scope of the General Practitioner (GP) and the RACF to manage independently.
RASS forms part of the Community Frailty Service, along with the Geriatric Emergency Department Intervention (GEDI), Advance Care Planning service and Community Dementia Service. These community focused teams work collaboratively to reduce avoidable ED presentations and hospital admissions for frail older adults.
