Recruitment & Education Key Actions
•
•
•
•
Double numbers of GPs
More than double numbers of Consultants
Reduce numbers of ‘other’ medics accordingly
Develop Irish training/education system for
new doctors....to reduce % that go abroad
• Phase out traditional educational system in
favour of ‘Graduate Entry’
MONEY
FOLLOWS THE
PATIENT
Money-follows-Patient Governance
Competition
• Bidding for Patients (& funding)
– Hospitals that meet contracts can bid for patients
and funding on other hospital waiting lists
• Basis forPayment
– Initially on ‘Average Costs’
– Subsequently on ‘Best Practice Costs’
Sweden
‘Stockholm Revolution’
• Since 1994 private encouraged to compete
with public
• Strict quality regulation
• 200 new private health facilities opened
• 25% Primary Care Clinics run by private firms
• 450 state pharmacies sold to private firms
• All public hospitals in Stockholm now under
private management
St Gorgan’s
• Stockholm’s main acute hospital
• ‘One of the glories of the Swedish welfare
system’*
• Private management under contract since 1994
• Remains under public ownership as a public
hospital
• Capio uses Toyota’s ‘lean’ management model
• Waiting lists down, patient satisfaction up
*Woodldridge, Adrian, Economist.
Key Actions
to Transform
Irish Health System
1. Introduce state of the art Information Technology
2. Fewer in offices more on the ‘front line’
– Primary Care
– Hospital Front Line
3. Create competition to drive reform
– ‘Money-follows-the-patient’
4. Stockholm Model
– Private/Public Hospital competition
– Level playing pitch/ strong regulation
– Management of public hospitals out to tender
GPs the Key to it All
• GPs run cost-effective small businesses
• 22 million patient visits per year
• Support and motivation of Ireland’s 2,728 GPs
fundamental
• General Practice part of healthcare that works
• Transferring resources to Primary Care the key
to reform of the whole system
