Analysis of care pathways provides information that is useful to both policy planners and service providers alike. The Pathways in Aged Care (PIAC) cohort study linked aged care assessment data for a cohort of 105,100 people to data sets showing use of five main aged care programs and deaths over 4 years. This report presents an overview of the PIAC cohort, investigating care needs, assessment patterns, common care pathways, time to entry to permanent residential aged care and time to death after assessment for use of aged care services.
The average person in the PIAC cohort was aged 81.4 years at their aged care assessment
Of these 1 in 4 pre-existing users of aged care, 40% were already living in permanent care
Three-quarters of the cohort had either no prior use of aged care (33%) or had only used HACC or VHC (41%)
26% of the cohort had used one of the ACAT-dependent programs
