    While in past years there have been multiple attempts to address the issues surrounding the community/acute care interface, current outcomes suggest that few in Tasmania have achieved their goals for older people with chronic diseases, who continue to be high users of acute facilities.

The evaluative process ensures transferability to other chronic conditions.
