Australian home care algorithm missed dementia patients
Documents obtained by Guardian Australia under freedom of information reveal that dementia patients were warned not to apply for home support—the algorithm could reduce their care funding level. Warnings appeared within weeks of the system's November launch, which sets financial packages and priorities for seniors needing home help. Senior health officials were informed of problems soon after the tool was deployed.
