Many health professionals are not aware of the range of technology and equipment interventions that are available. Assessing effectively for Assistive technology, equipment and goods is different to other types of clinical assessments that health professionals may have undertaken. Incorrect assessments could mean that older people are not supported with the right goods, equipment, or assistive technology that meets their needs. Conversely, we are aware of providers who have been audited and found to have approved goods, equipment and assistive technology that did not comply and were required to repay the funds. Effective assessment of clients can lead to greater independence, prevention of unplanned hospital admissions and improved quality of life.
