The Meath Foundation sponsored the annual Clinical Audit & Quality Improvement Symposium which was held on 19th May 2023. The event celebrates quality improvement and innovation initiatives across TUH and has a central role in facilitating on-going education, training and professional development within the hospital. The guest speakers for the event were Dr Marie Ward, Dr John Brennan and Professor Eamon O’Shea who focussed on how we can enhance the experience of those we serve through challenging ourselves to work in a truly person centred and intentional way.
Quality improvement and innovation projects made a significant difference to the care of patients across six quality dimensions: safety; timeliness; efficiency; effectiveness; equity and patient centeredness. In 2023, The Meath Foundation provided funding for the following Quality Improvement and Innovation initiatives:
- Sara Mohamed, Radiology SpR, “A Safer and More Efficient Method of Transferring Ventilated Patients to and from the CT Scanner”.
- Hannah O’Keeffe, Innovation Fellow, “Positive Patient Identification Project”.
