With the upcoming changes to the Aged Care Quality Standards, it is crucial to thoroughly understand their implications to ensure compliance. The new "Strengthened" Aged Care Quality Standards will reduce the number of Standards from eight to seven, consolidating some areas and introducing a new Food and Nutrition Standard. Recent government documents, indicate that the implementation date for the new Aged Care Act is still to be confirmed. The anticipated start date of 1 July 2024 may be postponed to January or July 2025. Are our aged cares prepared for these changes? And do we have a system in place to handle this transition? #AgedCare #QualityStandards #HealthcareReform #Compliance #ClinicalCare #7AgedCareStandards

Also, food in other contexts can be a way to express that you are cared for (or not!), why not the hospital too?
