The hospitals in Ireland are organised into Seven Hospital Groups. The services delivered include inpatient scheduled care, unscheduled/emergency care, maternity services, outpatient and diagnostic services. The Group Chief Executive of each Hospital Group reports to the National Director for Acute Services and is accountable for their Hospital Groups planning and performance under the HSE Accountability Framework.
Each Hospital Group publishes an Annual Operational Plan that is aligned to the Acute Hospitals Division Operational Plan
In 2016 the HSE introduced a new funding model for hospital care for inpatient and day-case services known as ‘Activity Based Funding’ (ABF) . This means a specified price is paid to each hospital for each weighted unit of inpatient work and each weighted unit of day-case work. Emergency care, outpatient care and other services continue to receive traditional block grant allocations.
