Shadow Health Minister Anne Ruston discusses the algorithm that determines the level of care for older Australians. “This algorithm that is spitting out the care levels that older Australians are being given has no human override … we have been screaming at the government now for months … saying to them, you need to apply human override,” Ms Ruston told Sky News host Steve Price. “If the computer is spitting out a result that is completely in contradiction to what the assessor, the clinical person who’s doing the assessment, believes the person needs, that should be an alarm bell in itself.”
