Abstract

This study summarizes the findings of a national survey of inpatient geriatric services in Australia conducted in 2001. These data are unique as there are no uniform administrative data systems available to provide this information. Eight hundred and eighty-eight hospitals were surveyed and full responses were received from 690, representing 78% of hospitals and 85% of all hospital beds. The results illustrated wide variation in the style and level of provision of services among hospitals and across regional and state jurisdictions.

摘要

本研究总结了2001年在澳大利亚进行的一项全国住院老年服务调查的结果。这些数据独一无二，因为没有统一的行政数据系统可提供此类信息。共对888家医院进行了调查，收到了690家医院的完整回复，占医院总数的78%，占所有医院床位的85%。结果表明，不同医院之间以及不同地区和州辖区之间，服务提供的方式和水平存在很大差异。
