Details of Service Context of Post Following on from the "Community Healthcare Organisations – Report and Recommendations of the Integrated Service Area Review Group" (October 2014), Community Healthcare South East (CHO 5) was established.
CHO 5 is one of nine CHOs across the country and is responsible for providing care services to the people of Waterford, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary.
A key priority for CHO 5 is to further progress the development of the structures and processes intended to ensure that the CHO area achieves high quality integrated services as close to home as possible, for the people of Waterford, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary.
We have established clear pathways on integration across community, hospital and residential services to ensure clients receive quality care in the most appropriate setting with straightforward access.
The recommendations of the CHO Report emphasises the need for strong leadership and ownership at local level, bringing the relationship between primary care, specialist social care and mental health services, as well as advancing the health and wellbeing of the population into a much more focused and integrated place in each local area.
This will ensure a greater focus on service delivery and decision making at local level informed by national frameworks, which will allow the HSE to:
provide better direct accountability;
provide for increased decision making at local level; and
Deliver services in the community through an integrated management structure.
Community Healthcare Services are the broad range of services that include Primary Care, Disability Services, Older Person Services, Mental Health and Health & Wellbeing Services.
These services are delivered through the HSE and its funded agencies to people in local communities, as close as possible to people's homes.
Full details of the services provided by a CHO can be found at http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/corporate/CHOReport.html Under the Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People Programme, Children's Disability Network Teams are being reconfigured so that all children with a disability and developmental delay and their families will have access to services according to their needs and there will be consistency and equity in delivery of services across the country.
The Children's Disability Network Teams are charged with the delivery of an efficient and effective health and personal social service for a designated population in order to achieve targeted health outcomes within the overall Community Health Network.
Each area has agreed "lead agencies" to manage defined Children's Disability Networks
