Detection of Acute Deterioration in Care Home Residents: A Multicenter Qualitative Exploration of Barriers and Enablers

Knowing the resident, working as a team, and valuing the contribution of aged care staff and families in managing acute deterioration are enablers to achieving better outcomes for residents experiencing acute deterioration.
