The End of Life Directions in Aged Care (ELDAC) project funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care aims to improve outcomes for older people and their families at the end of life. Central to the ELDAC model is a national capacity initiative referred to as the Linkages Program. ELDAC Linkages seeks to enhance training for the aged care workforce to improve the quality of, and timely access to, palliative care for older Australians, support development of organisational capabilities to deliver quality palliative care, and establish, maintain, and strengthen linkages across the primary care, aged care, and palliative care sectors. A team of facilitators use a range of evidence-based strategies to support aged care providers to implement quality improvement initiatives and enhance linkages between aged, primary and specialist palliative care providers. To date, over 250 services have participated in the ELDAC Linkages program. Outcomes of the program are measured at the organisational, provider, and client/resident level. These evaluation data indicate that participation in ELDAC Linkages contributes to improved organisational capacity to provide palliative care, enhanced knowledge and confidence of the workforce about palliative care and advance care planning, and improved implementation of palliative care and advance care planning practices.
