In 2009, a detailed mapping exercise in our region demonstrated the size of our problem showing 4,680 emergency department attendances locally for falls annually, 21,500 acute bed-days used after falls and falls-related local health cost of €31 million. We had elements of good practice but services for falls management were neither coordinated nor integrated. Practice change: We took a whole-system approach to the delivery of services for falls in older people. Since 2012 a multidisciplinary clinician group has worked with regional management to improve falls services. Our project has four main work streams: building community capacity for fall risk assessment; re-engineering specialist fall services to improve access; standardising continuing care falls assessment; and promoting healthy ageing to prevent falls.

  • Urgent and Emergency Care Provision in Ireland
    Urgent and emergency care provision in Ireland What is urgent and emergency care? Urgent and emergency care consists of all the services which contribute to the management of people when immediate care is sought for a health condition along with the processes in place for referring patients between services. When patients need immediate care they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one. Ideally these services would be highly co-ordinated to ensure the time to definitive care is reduced and waste such as inappropriate use of emergency departments is avoided. Current provision in Ireland A wide range of services, public and private, provide emergency and urgent care in Ireland. The services within the emergency and urgent care system (EUCS) include General Practice (GP) (including out-of-hours GP co-operatives), emergency departments (EDs), urgent care centres, acute medical units (AMUs), minor injury units, ambulance services (provided by Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service), and pharmacies. When patients need immediate care, they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one in a single episode of illness. For example, they may phone an out-of-hours GP, be transferred by ambulance to an ED and be admitted to hospital. The combination of these services are defined as an EUCS. The provision of effective emergency and urgent care is critically dependent on all elements of the EUCS of a healthcare system (figure 1). A well-performing EUCS should improve the chances of survival in a patient with an emergency condition and an urgent condition should ideally be managed by a well- performing EUCS without admission to an inpatient bed.
