Residential aged care facility performance
There is clear evidence to indicate that the number of nurses on a shift plays an important role in patient safety and quality of care. Mandatory minimum daily resident care hours (DRCH) and minimum nurse and support worker skill mix ratios were introduced for public residential aged care facilities in December 2019, with reporting commencing from February 2020.
For public residential aged care facilities, the Hospital and Health Boards Regulation 2023 sets a minimum average DRCH of 3.65 hours per 24-hour period, and minimum direct care hours skill mix of 30% registered nurses and 50% nursing (where care is delivered by either a registered nurse or enrolled nurse).
The existing industrially mandated Business Planning Framework will continue to apply across all nursing and midwifery services in Queensland Health, regardless of whether a facility or ward is subject to existing nurse-to-patient ratios or minimum nurse and support worker legislation in public residential aged care facilities.
