  • The Ombudsman and Public Hospitals
    The Ombudsman and the Public Hospitals The Ombudsman is Impartial Independent A free service 2 Who is the Ombudsman and what does the Ombudsman do? Peter Tyndall is the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman can examine complaints about the actions of a range of public bodies, including public hospitals. All hospitals providing public health services come within the Ombudsman’s remit. The Ombudsman can examine complaints about how hospital staff carry out their everyday administrative activities when providing public health services. These include complaints about delays or failing to take action. However, there are certain complaints that the Ombudsman cannot examine. These include complaints about: private health care regardless of where it is provided and clinical judgment by the HSE (diagnoses or decisions about treatment Is the Ombudsman independent? Yes. The Ombudsman is independent and impartial when examining complaints. 1 What can I complain to the Ombudsman about? You can complain about your experience in dealing with a hospital. This might include, among other issues, a hospital: applying an incorrect charge failing to follow approved administrative procedures, protocols or reasonable rules failing to communicate clearly failing to seek your informed consent to a procedure keeping poor records failing to respect your privacy and dignity having staff who are rude or unhelpful or who discriminate against you being reluctant to correct an error failing to deal with your complaint in accordance with the complaints process. 2 Which

  • 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.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions The Establishment of Hospital Groups as a Transition to Independent Hospital Trusts A report to the Minister for Health, Dr James Reilly TD February 2013 What is in the report on the establishment of hospital groups? The report on the Establishment of Hospital Groups as a Transition to Independent Hospital Trusts contains recommendations to the Minister for Health Dr James Reilly T.D. on merging the acute hospitals in Ireland into groups. How was the report produced? The report was produced by a panel of national and international experts. It was informed by consultation, including face-to-face meetings with; management and senior clinicians from hospitals, health agencies and clinical programmes, patient advocates and others, as well as data analysis. Why is it necessary to change how our hospitals work? Quality, patient safety, access and value for money are the principles on which current health policy is based. Within that policy, health services aim to provide efficient and effective care, as close to the patient’s home as possible, with a view to improved health outcomes and satisfaction for patients. Ours is a small country with increasing demands on our healthcare system. These demands include an ageing population, increased public expectations and inequalities in access to care. The changing nature of healthcare - new technologies and clinical specialisation and greater financial and regulatory pressures from national and international bodies - add further challenges. The traditional practice of providing as many services as possible in every hospital is neither sustainable nor safe. Experience in Ireland and beyond teaches us that a co- ordinated system of care is better for patients than a more sporadic approach.

  • Healthcare-Associated Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance-Related Data from Acute Public Hospitals
    Healthcare-associated infection and antimicrobial resistance-related data from acute public hospitals Item Type Report Authors Health Service Executive (HSE), Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) Publisher Health Service Executive (HSE) Download date 02/10/2021 18:02:52 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10147/51613 Find this and similar works at - http://www.lenus.ie/hse Healthcare-Associated Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance-Related Data from Acute Public Hospitals in Ireland, 2006-2007 Introduction As part of the HSE strategy for prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection (HCAI), launched in March 2007, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) has been asked to coordinate the publication of data relating to HCAI and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for acute public hospitals in Ireland. This report provides the initial baseline publication of these data. Three datasets are included in this report, all relating to data reported by hospitals for 2006 and 2007: 1. Antibiotic consumption (Section 1, page 2) 2. Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates (Section 2, page 6) 3. Alcohol-based hand rub consumption (Section 3, page 9) The first two datasets are based on data reported as part of existing European surveillance networks, namely the European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC) network and the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (EARSS). The third is an indirect surveillance measure of hand hygiene activity. The primary value of these datasets, as with any surveillance data, is to the individual data providers, allowing individual hospitals to monitor trends over time, assess the impact of infection prevention and control interventions, and identify targets for future interventions and resource requirements.
