Decision Support Unit (DSU) is led by an Executive Group Manager reporting to the Chief Operating Officer within Canberra Health Services (CHS).

The DSU’s role includes:

- Promoting accountability to achieve strategic goals and building organisational capability to align Activity Based Funding (ABF) and Operational Planning.- Provision of ICT Services for CHS.- Provision of data quality.- Provision of Health Information Services.- Provision of decision support services to enable operational and non-operational planning and quality reporting.Sub and Non-Acute Patient (SNAP) Officers work in consultation with clinical teams to accurately assign and report the care type that best describes the primary clinical management intention of a patient during their admission to hospital. Care types are assigned according to Australian National Subacute and Non-Acute Patient (AN-SNAP) classification rules. A patient may have one or more care type changes (Level of Care) changes during their hospital stay as the primary clinical purpose or treatment goal of the patient’s care changes. As CHS transitions to Activity Based Management timely care type changes are necessary for funding optimisation to ensure the financial sustainability of CHS. Care type changes also contribute to quality data for monitoring service activity, benchmarking, research and improving safety and quality.

Reporting directly to the Sub and Non-Acute Patient (SNAP) Team Manager within the Decision Support Unit (DSU), the SNAP Officers undertake and coordinate comprehensive assessments for all sub-acute and non-acute inpatients, including RUG-ADL, FIM, HoNOS65+ and Palliative Phases. These assessment results are mandatory to receive federal funding for sub and non-acute episodes.

Subacute services play an integral part within the health care continuum, supporting patients to maximise their independence and capabilities and, in doing so, minimise long-term health and community care needs. Sub-acute care focuses on care delivered from a multidisciplinary approach and as such promotes communication and facilitates consistent pathways from acute care to discharge.
