Clinical Nurse Manager, Digital For Care Programmes
Details of Service The Health Service Executive (HSE) is responsible for the provision of all health and personal social care services in the Republic of Ireland. With an annual budget in 2024 of €24 billion and over 150,000 employed in the HSE and the Section 38 Agencies with which the HSE has Service Level Agreements (SLAs), the HSE is the largest employer in the State and the largest of any public sector organisation. The HSE has created six new health regions within the single organisation. Each region is responsible for providing both hospital and community care for the people in that area. By bringing community health services and hospitals together this changes the way that services are delivered ensuring a more patient-centred approach to healthcare. The regions remain under the governance of the HSE Board and the HSE continues to be responsible for standards and guidelines. These new arrangements are fundamental to the delivery of Sláintecare reforms and aim to improve the health service’s ability to deliver timely integrated care to patients and service users, care that is planned and funded in line with their needs at regional and local level. A key priority for the HSE is Digital Care 2030, under this framework all digital health solutions for the HSE are co-ordinated, streamlined and implemented. It provides a strategic and innovative plan to advance key Sláintecare programmes and deliver integrated care that is fully aligned with the Health Regions structure. These programmes are critical in setting the future policy direction. This post of the Clinical Nurse Manager II is a key role across a number of Digital for Care initiatives with an immediate focus on the following two programmes: Community Connect Community Connect is a programme that proposes to implement a single integrated solution delivering patient administration and some clinical functionalities across Community Services in Ireland. The goal is to implement foundational capabilities and to transition current, mostly paper-based workflows, into digital processes. The Programme supports the HSE’s digital health roadmap - Digital for Care, Sláintecare Action Plan, Enhanced Community Care, Scheduled Care Transformation Programme, and Multi-annual Waiting Lists Reduction Plan. The Programme further supports HSE Corporate Plan objectives and the National Service Plan 2025. Community Connect represents a transformative opportunity to enhance healthcare delivery across Ireland. By integrating international best practices with local expertise, it seeks to reimagine workflows and design efficient, patient-centred care pathways. The initiative aims to standardise workflows, reducing variations across locations and ensuring a consistent experience for patients and staff. Additionally, the Community Connect Programme will actively engage the workforce in its design and implementation, fostering buy-in and driving behaviour change while building digital capacity to support the future National EHR programme. Beyond operational improvements, it aspires to drive positive cultural shifts within the healthcare system, enabling a future-ready, digitally empowered healthcare environment. Community Connect will deliver core patient administration and reporting functionality to all community services and some clinical functionality to specific areas such as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Specialist Palliative Care (SPC). MyHealth@IE The MyHealth@IE programme is part of the Standards & Shared Care Records function of HSE Technology & Transformation. Our vision is to enable the sharing of standardised interoperable digital health records for both healthcare professional and patients, nationally and across borders. The MyHealth@IE Programme is currently responsible for the delivery of three main Products: • The National Shared Care Record (NSCR) will aggregate existing digital health information from a variety of sources and present it in a secure and structured way to clinicians, patients, and carers. • The HSE App will enable health service users to access their own healthcare information on their mobile phone, as well as advice and support tailored to their needs. • The National Contact Point (NCP – MyHealth@EU) project will enable secure cross-border exchange of health data for all EU citizens when they are outside of their home country in another EU member state.
