The Yellow Envelope is a vital tool designed to ensure that aged care residents receive seamless and continuous care during transfers between hospitals and residential care settings. By providing essential clinical information in a structured and accessible format, the Yellow Envelope supports effective clinical handovers, improving patient safety and care continuity.
For aged care providers, using the Yellow Envelope ensures that all relevant health information is transferred along with the resident, reducing the risk of miscommunication and promoting safe transitions between care environments. This process is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of care as residents move from one care setting to another.
