About us:
The Patient Access and Coordination Hub (PACH) brings people and information together to make the right decisions, ensuring patients are in the right place, at the right time, receiving the right care.
CQ PACH supports safe, timely care closer to home while improving equitable access to CQHHS services. We respond to changing demand and capacity, use real-time information to guide decisions, and support effective bed management at Rockhampton Hospital.
The Nurse Manager as PACH Coordinator is a key link between clinicians, patients and services. Using advanced clinical judgement, problem-solving and coordination skills, the role supports patient flow, bed access and inter-hospital transfers across the HHS and to tertiary services.
Working collaboratively and autonomously, the PACH Coordinator helps ensure patients receive timely, appropriate and specialist care when and where they need it.
