The purpose of the project was to explore the untapped value of allied health professions in preventing hospital acquired functional decline (HAFD) and to develop a resource for local health districts (LHDs) / speciality health networks (SHNs) to support further adoption of leading practice. The recommendations of the Preventing Hospital Acquired Functional Decline - The untapped value of Allied Health Report support the current and emerging focus on allied health and multidisciplinary models of care that can prevent and respond to HAFD in alignment with NSW Health strategic priorities and plans.
