To support International Protection Accommodation Services, HCI held a webinar to discuss HIQA's newly released documentation in relation to the monitoring and inspection of IPAS services.

In this discussion, IPAS providers gain an understanding of these key documents and HIQA's approach as they embark on the monitoring of the sector.

In June of this year, the UK Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman released a report summarizing their findings of their review of 22 patient safety incidents that were identified as avoidable deaths, with the aim of highlighting failings in systems and, support learning from the analysis.

The report identified repeated broad themes of clinical failings leading to these deaths and also several factors that contributed to compounded harm experienced by the families of these patients following the deaths of their loved ones.

This podcast is a recording of a webinar, presented by Oonagh Gilvarry, Chief Research Officer at HCI. Oonagh provides a summary of these clinical failings, and the resulting compounded harm, that provide learnings that are applicable across all of the health and social care sectors internationally.

This podcast is a recording of a webinar presented by Lisa McGrane, Best Practice Specialist at HCI. In this webinar, Lisa discusses the findings of HCI’s latest Summary of HIQA Inspection Findings in Nursing Homes during May to July 2023.

The provision of any form of health and social care is challenging due to the level of complexity involved with the service provision, but with the average age of many congregations increasing, assuring the quality and safety of the care provided to older members of Missionaries and Religious Orders is a priority.

A comprehensive, robust governance and management framework is central to the provision of an effective service to ensure that service provides person centred care and strive to drive continuous improvement.

With this in mind, HCI hosted this webinar to discuss what is required to implement a robust governance and management framework.

This podcast is a recording of a webinar presented by Oonagh Gilvarry, CTO at HCI. Within this webinar, HCI discusses the use of Gap Analysis as a process to provide a realistic internal assessment of services against the National Standards for accommodation offered to people in the protection process.

The webinar looks at the 6 defined stages of gap analysis to ensure a comprehensive approach that will ensure the outcome provides a valuable roadmap to, not only achieving compliance, but driving continuous improvement in the quality and safety of the service provided.

- Benchmarking compliance, the advantages to early preparation.
- Gap Analysis templates to support a comprehensive approach.
