Clinical Design and Innovation (CDI) has published their ‘2023 – A year in review’, summarising clinical design work across the health service from last year. CDI collaborates with stakeholders to co-design services that deliver safe and timely patient care, as close to home as possible. Dr Siobhán Ní Bhriain, National Clinical Director, Integrated Care, said, “CDI brings together healthcare experts to design health and social care services. In 2023, there were 31 National Clinical Programmes supported by CDI teams. These programmes cover a wide range of services from emergency care to chronic disease. The programmes work with staff across the HSE as well as patients and service users to co-design Models of Care for integrated health and social care services.” The review focuses on the following areas: • designing clinical documents for frontline healthcare staff • supporting people to live well in their communities • improving access to care • enabling better healthcare https://lnkd.in/e_pxyeWE
