PACOP supports aged care homes to embed the PACOP framework and processes, and to use the information gathered from assessments for ongoing quality improvement.
PACOP data
PACOP manages two longitudinal datasets for quality improvement and research purposes.
Quality improvement data is returned biannually to participating aged care homes and services through the PACOP reporting suite.
In time, comprehensive national PACOP reports will also be made publicly available.
The PACOP research database offers an opportunity for the reuse of consistently collected data, enabling researchers, innovators, collaborators, and industry professionals to contribute to bodies of research, thereby enhancing equity and outcomes for Australians receiving health and aged care services.
