What it's like to work with us | West Moreton Health

About the role

The West Moreton Residential aged care Acute Support Service (RASS) partners with Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs) to offer alternative care pathways for people who reside in RACHs. This is achieved through:

• Emergency Department (ED) avoidance through ED and hospital substitutive care
• Exploring goals of care with patients and their families to avoid unnecessary tests, procedures, and hospital admission
• Improving transitions of care between the RACH and hospital when hospital level care is required
• Partnering with ED and hospital alternative services
• Improving transitions back to the RACH through follow-up on hospital discharge.

Service delivery predominantly occurs in its patient's primary place of residence, the 16 RACH in the district. After hours, support is offered via the QAS hub, and under the governance of QAS medical officers, some reviews are ‘parked' for review by the RASS service the next morning.
