For acutely unwell residents in the control RACFs, residents are assessed by AINs and PCAs with support from RNs who may not be in the facility. Primary medical care is provided by General Medical Practitioners who visit the RACF as required and have competing demands of a busy practice. There is generally limited handover of clinical information or contact between the RACF and the ED prior to ED arrival. When residents require an ED visit, they are transported by ambulance to and from hospital.
