Abstract

Australian residential aged care does not have a system of quality assessment related to clinical outcomes, or comprehensive quality benchmarking. The Residential Care Quality Assessment was developed to fill this gap; and this paper discusses the process by which preliminary benchmarks representing high and low quality were developed for it.

Keywordsbenchmarking; frail older people; outcomeassessment; quality indicator; residential facility.
