A unique new study is currently underway to assess the benefits of implementing an after-hours nurse practitioner service in Metro North\u2019s residential aged care and sub-acute settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

A Nurse Practitioner after hours service for sub-acute and residential care study is being delivered by David Bishop, Mary Wheeldon, Sharyn Plath and Catherine Forristal, former Redcliffe Hospital ED Research Manager (not pictured).<\/p><\/div>\n

The study is being led by two Nurse Practitioners from Redcliffe Hospital and the Community and Oral Health Nursing Director for Service Development.<\/p>\n

Community and Oral Health Service Development Nursing Director Mary Wheeldon said each year, around 300 patient transfers occur after hours from Community and Oral Health residential and sub-acute facilities to Metro North Emergency Departments.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our bedded services the medical coverage after hours is primarily limited to phone advice and there are no onsite medical staff located within services to treat patients,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can cause delays in accessing treatments for symptom relief, emergency care or end-of-life care, and could have an adverse health effect on the patient or resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnnecessary transfers also have a significant financial and labour burden on our facilities, Emergency Departments and the Queensland Ambulance Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Evaluation of a Nurse Practitioner after hours service for sub-acute and residential care <\/em>study started as a Metro North SEED funded project called Eyes on Hands On<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The new Nurse Practitioner research study will evaluate the effectiveness of acute care nurse practitioners covering the after-hours acute care needs of a vulnerable, frail and elderly cohort of patients in a sub-acute and aged care setting in Metro North.<\/p>\n

Mary said the study would cover the two Metro North aged care facilities Gannet House and Cooinda House, and community-based transitional and rehabilitation services including Zillmere Residential Transition Care, Brighton Rehabilitation, Interim Care and the Brighton Brain Injury Service.<\/p>\n<\/div>
