澳大利亚2025年的家庭护理改革失败了老年人,造成延误、资金不足和至少4 812人死亡,其原因是算法有缺陷。 Australia’s 2025 home care reforms failed seniors, causing delays, underfunding, and at least 4,812 deaths due to a flawed algorithm.

一份新报告揭示了澳大利亚2025年家庭支助改革的严重缺陷,老年人由于低估需求的不透明算法而面临长期拖延、资金短缺和护理不足。 A new report reveals serious flaws in Australia’s 2025 Support at Home reforms, with seniors facing long delays, denied funding, and inadequate care due to an opaque algorithm that underestimates needs. 许多老年人正在削减基本服务,导致可预防的住院治疗和至少4 812人在等待护理期间死亡。 Many older people are cutting back on essential services, leading to preventable hospitalizations and at least 4,812 deaths while waiting for care. 尽管政府承诺建立一个可靠的系统,但等待资金超过200天,而受援者往往只得到其评估支助的60%。 Despite government promises of a reliable system, wait times exceed 200 days for funding, and recipients often receive only 60% of their assessed support. 临床医生说算法压倒了专业判断,导致有害的分类错误,削弱了人们对老年护理系统的信任。 Clinicians say the algorithm overrides professional judgment, resulting in harmful misclassifications and eroding trust in the aged care system.
