About the Health Service Improvement Team
Our Team aims to improve population health and health equity by designing, testing, implementing and learning from health service improvements. We do this through system leadership, taking an evidence-led approach and building improvement capabilities across the health services.
At regional level, we work collaboratively with Departments of Public Health and other stakeholders, including patients, communities, and professionals in health and allied services, to address the health needs of the entire regional population.
At national level, we focus on specific priority cohorts, including underserved populations, working closely with people with lived experience and other stakeholders, to deliver targeted interventions that address the unique needs of these groups.
Population Based Planning
We work to support decision-makers at various levels to make data-driven decisions that build on the strengths of their population and are aligned with their needs and preferences, through the Population Based Planning (PBP) Programme.
Tools and resources for PBP, including Regional Population Profiles and HSE Framework for Health Needs Assessment, can be viewed or downloaded from our Population Based Planning page.
Population Health Service Improvement
We work to develop, support and enable a population health service improvement approach to be embedded in clinical design.
Reports and resources from our work in population health service improvement can be viewed or downloaded from our Population Health Service Improvement page.
