Introduction The Open Beds Report provides an outline of the average numbers of open inpatient beds and day beds/places in the acute hospital system on a monthly basis. As set out in the Sláintecare Action Plan 2019, the Department of Health is committed to fostering the support of citizens and stakeholders in the Sláintecare reform process, consulting them about its delivery, and informing them about progress through engagement and open reporting. In line with this commitment to open reporting, the purpose of the Open Beds Report is to make information on capacity in the health care system available in a transparent and accessible manner. 1.1 Data source and validation The Health Service Executive (HSE) Acute Business Information Unit (Acute BIU) provide the bed data for this report, and the figures show the average number of beds or places open in each hospital for the month or year specified. Data for 2020 are provisional and remain subject to validation by Acute BIU. The 2018 and 2019 figures for Galway University Hospital are also awaiting validation. Tables are included in the Appendix. 1.2 Bed capacity context The Health Service Capacity Review 2018 recommended an increase of 2,590 acute hospital beds across the system by 2031 to support the projected increase in demand for services in the years ahead. The National Development Plan provides for the full 2,590 beds by 2027. 1.3 Definitions and clarifications 1.3.1 Inpatient beds Average inpatient beds available is the number of funded beds occupied or ready and available for occupation each night of the reporting period. The cumulated figure is then divided by the number of days in the reporting period to provide a daily average. —— 3 An Roinn Sláinte | Department of Health Open Beds Report — September 2020 1.3.2 Day beds/places Day beds/places provide areas for day cases: patients admitted for a medical procedure or surgery in the morning and released before the evening. Average available day beds/places are beds/places which are currently occupied or ready for occupation. 1.3.3 Closed beds The numbers provided in this report are average numbers of beds or places available daily in the specified period. Beds are not available when they are temporarily closed for reasons such as infection control, maintenance/refurbishment, or staffing shortages. 1.3.4 Hospital Groups The current Hospital Group structure was established in 2013, with the Children’s Hospital Group becoming Children’s Health Ireland at the start of 2019. For the purposes of comparison and simplicity in navigating this report, hospitals are grouped as per the current Hospital Groups for all years. It should be noted that in the years from 2009–2013 these groupings did not have their current formal governance structures. The seven Hospital Groups are Ireland East Hospital Group, Dublin Midlands Hospital Group, RCSI Hospitals Groups, Saolta University Healthcare Group, South/South West Hospital Group, University of Limerick Hospitals Group, and Children’s Health Ireland. —— 4 An Roinn Sláinte | Department of Health Open Beds Report — September 2020 2.
