CEO Message

Ireland East Hospital Group (IEHG) is a structured organisation of 11 hospitals working together to deliver world class healthcare. IEHG has advanced significantly since its establishment in 2015. As Ireland’s largest and most complex hospital network in terms of population, staffing, budget, number of hospitals, counties and community healthcare organisations, our defining feature is a tripartite mission of delivering high quality clinical care, medical education and research.

Seamless integration :

We are collaborating with a wide range of partners to provide optimum integrated primary and community care to address the evolving needs of our population. As we shape ourselves for success, we are seeking to align and improve our clinical services, information systems and corporate operations so that we can improve safety, clinical outcomes and patient experience. We have established a Transformation Office for Change, Innovation and Programme Management to ensure the successful delivery or our three-year corporate plan (IEHG Corporate Plan 2017-2020). The challenge is to improve the way we work collectively through our disparate partnerships and we are working hard to retain and recruit the most dedicated and skilled professionals.

World Class Healthcare:

We are making dynamic moves to establish ourselves as a world-class healthcare provider. We have commenced plans to develop an Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC) to ensure that medical research breakthroughs lead to direct clinical benefits for patients. In this regard the role of University College Dublin (UCD) as our academic partner is vitally important. Generations of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals who are graduates of UCD and other colleges provide the core clinical competencies in our hospitals.

Our People:

A resourceful Lean organisation such as ours depends on its people and behind our ambitious agenda lies an innovative and progressive spirit. Compassion and a deep sense of commitment to our patients have created a cohesive culture that determines the exceptional performance of our staff.

Our Ambition:

I am extremely confident and optimistic about our future. Our objective is to become the most technologically advanced hospital group in the Irish health system working with all healthcare partners in the provision of integrated care and an organisation that every staff member and service user can be proud of.

To support this ambition IEHG is embracing the application of Lean management to build a strategic and management model for operational excellence and continuous improvement to enable real and lasting healthcare transformation.

That is our commitment to you.
