The Model of Care for the Integrated Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease has a particular focus on preventive healthcare, early diagnosis, early intervention and the provision of supports to live well with chronic disease. The focus of the Model of Integrated Care for the Prevention and Management of Chronic Disease is on providing an end-to-end pathway for the management of the four major chronic diseases in Ireland: COPD, asthma, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This end-to-end pathway will reduce admissions to acute hospitals by providing direct GP access to diagnostics and specialist services in the ambulatory care hubs in a timely manner. For patients who require hospital admission, the emphasis is on minimising the hospital length of stay, with the provision of post-discharge follow up and support for people in the community and in their own homes, where required.

The early assessment and implementation of pathways that will support GP-led primary care, efficient discharge back to the community where appropriate and reduce the need for repeated hospital-based outpatient reviews; • Provision of oversight and implementation of self-management support services for chronic cardiovascular disease, including cardiac rehabilitation, in the ambulatory care hubs; • Facilitating access and the evaluation and reporting of non-invasive cardiac testing e.g. ECG, Echocardiogram. • Providing improved integration of early discharge, outreach and potentially admission avoidance programmes; Please allow sufficient time to submit your application form before the deadline.
