Incorporating the gains from healthy ageing into health system planning

This three-year project aims to develop evidence-based and fit-for-purpose economic models to plan future health care system capacity based on changing health profile and size of the population. The project team expects to generate new knowledge on the impact of improvements in healthy ageing on funding and capacity requirements of public care. This is an improvement on models that project needs based on previous care provided. The project will provide significant benefits through improving efficiency of public investments in the health system.
