In response to Support at Home, this presentation explores what providers can consider when redesigning their current home care model to maximise business opportunities, optimise resource allocation, and improve overall service delivery. Support at Home will require providers to implement a redesign focusing on integrating interdisciplinary care teams, leveraging technology for coordinated care, and implementing person centred practices in line with the New Aged Care Act and Standards. We will examine the current challenges in the existing model and opportunities within the new service categories. Attendees will gain insights into the practical steps required for successful implementation, the potential barriers, and strategies for overcoming them. Examples of what other providers and innovators are doing will be shared. The goal is of the presentation is to stimulate discussion and provide leaders and practitioners with a roadmap for transitioning to a more resilient, adaptable, and sustainable care model that meets the demands of the future aging population. Attendees will be given a check list for implementation to utilise in their workplace.
