dc.description.abstract | Existence of Advance Care Planning (ACP) documents including contact details of Medical Treatment Decision Makers (MTDM), are essential patient care records that support Emergency Department (ED) clinicians in implementing treatment concordant with patients' expressed wishes. Based upon previous findings, we conducted a statewide study to evaluate the performance of Victorian public hospital emergency departments on reporting of availability of records for ACP. The study is a quantitative retrospective observational comparative design based upon ED tier levels as defined by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) for the calendar year 2021. Of 1.8 million total Victorian ED attendances, 15,222 patients had an ACP alert status recorded. Of these, 7296 were aged ≥ 65 years (study group). Of the thirty-one public EDs that submitted data, 65 % were accredited and assigned a level of service tier. The presence of ACP alerts positively correlated to location, tier level, age and gender (MANOVA wilk's; p < 0.001, value=.981, F = (12, 15,300), partial ƞ2 = .006, observed power = 1.0 = 95.919). The identified rate of ACP reporting is low. Strategies to improve the result include synchronising ACP (generated at different points) electronically, staff education, training and further validation of the data at the sending and receiving agencies. | en_US |
