Publication Dementia services in Ireland 2018: Audit of community-based health and social care services used by people with dementia(Centre for Economic and Social Research on Dementia National University of Ireland, Galway, 2020-09) Keogh, Fiona; Pierse, Tom; O’Shea, EamonThis audit is concerned with identifying the current provision of services and resources for people with dementia in Ireland. The audit is one part of a larger partnership study between the Centre for Economic and Social Research on Dementia and the Health Service Executive. The wider context for the audit is the National Dementia Strategy (NDS), which describes the need for integrated services and supports for people with dementia and action required to critically review health and personal social services for people with dementia to identify gaps in existing provision. Data on a range of services that are used by people with dementia in 2018 are collated in this report. The scope includes services directly provided by the HSE, services provided by voluntary organisations that are at least partly funded by the HSE and services that are contracted to private organisations (such as home support) that are fully funded by the HSE. Private or voluntary organisations or individuals that provide dementia-specific services but are not funded by the HSE were not included. Further detail on data sources, limitations and other notes associated with the highlights in this summary are to be found in the tables identified for each summary point.Publication Leadership in the Irish Civil Service: A 360° Assessment of Senior Management Capability(CISC, 2011) McCarthy, Alma; Grady, Geraldine; Dooley, Gillian; |~|[no abstract available]Publication Towards earlier discharge, better outcomes, lower cost: stroke rehabilitation in Ireland(The Economic and Social Research Institute, 2014) Gillespie, Paddy; |~|'Towards Earlier Discharge, Better Outcomes, Lower Cost' is a new and valuable study which adds to our understanding of how to better patient outcomes within the budgetary realities of our current healthcare system. This study, undertaken by the ESRI and the RCSI with the support of the Irish Heart Foundation, provides a strong economic justification for policy makers to develop Ireland's community rehabilitation and care services, and equally, shows the potential benefits for patients that can come from healthcare research. This study brought together a range of disciplines and expertise to build on the previous Irish Heart Foundation-supported study, The Cost of Stroke in reland, undertaken by researchers at the ESRI and RCSI. We would like to acknowledge the hard work and input of all those involved in the research for this study, especially the researchers in the ESRI, NUIG, RCSI, King's College London and the team in the IHF. We would also like to acknowledge the invaluable guidance of the steering group, many of whom are clinical professionals directly involved in delivering stroke care. We would like to thank the HSE for contributing funding to this research. It is hoped that more research of this nature, which provides an evidence base for the development of Irish healthcare, might be considered in the near future.
