Abstract
In response to government policies on case mix funding and Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs), Caulfield Community Care Centre, in consultation with the Inner South Community Health Service in Victoria, made a submission for government funding to run an early discharge program. It was called a Discharge Brokerage Program rather than an early discharge program, because of not wanting patients to be anxious about leaving hospital early.
