A pilot implementation of evidence-based standardised care processes in areas of clinical risk for older people, found that many nurses did not have the necessary health assessment skills and expertise to apply them. In response, an eight module three-day workshop program on comprehensive health assessment (CHA) of the older person was developed. To date 254 workshops have been delivered educating approximately 4,532 nurses (mainly in Victoria) working in aged care, community and acute/sub-acute health services. The majority of participants have never received education and training in CHA of the older person. Workshop participants complete knowledge and confidence surveys pre and post workshop which indicate that the workshop is successful in improving CHA knowledge and skills and, boosting the confidence of nurse participants in being able to undertake CHA resulting in positive changes to work practices and care. Three months post workshop participants are surveyed with the following results: participants have utilised CHA skills more frequently since the workshop; participants are doing more assessments since the workshop; participants have detected deterioration in health status of older people by undertaking CHA and barriers to undertaking CHA include workload, lack of staff trained in CHA and lack of support from other staff and management to spend time assessing older people. The majority of participants rate the CHA workshop as better/much better than expected. This presentation will showcase the training materials and discuss the evaluation results.
