RESUMO
PURPOSE: To present the ophthalmic manifestations of a 3-month old female with SCALP syndrome. OBSERVATIONS: The patient presented with multiple ocular anomalies including bilateral limbal dermoids, esotropia and left optic nerve hypoplasia. CONCLUSIONS: We describe systemic and ocular anomalies in a rare case of SCALP syndrome. This report provides additional information on the ocular anomalies not previously described that may be associated with this clinical entity.
RESUMO
AIM: To determine whether the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI) provides more funding than the Residential Classification Scale (RCS) for residents in the Hellenic Residential Care Facility. METHODS: All residents within the care facility were assessed over a six 6-month period using ACFI, RCS and Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly (CAPE) scores. Differences in funding levels were calculated using ACFI and RCS instruments against a standardised CAPE score. RESULTS: CAPE dependency RCS funding per resident per day varied from $32.20 for grade A to $116.20 for grade E4 residents. CAPE ACFI funding varied from $20.20 for grade A to $127.50 for grade E4. There was no significant difference in mean overall funding between the two scales (ACFI $92.50 vs RCS $90.35, P = 0.76). CONCLUSIONS: The ACFI does provide a small but not significant increase in funding to residents in residential care. It redirects funding to higher dependency residents.
