Authors: Eastern Health Board Description: Performance assessment and the measurement of the quality of service delivery have been associated in the public mind with innovative companies in the private sector, We are now in an environment where quality and customer service are becoming central to the success of any business, especially service industries. This includes the health and welfare services. The image of public' sector organisations such as health boards is often one of a large centralised bureaucracy, governed by multiple regulations where change is difficult to effect and where staff motivation, in the absence of monetary or other incentives, can be problematic. I am delighted that this project, linking staff motivation with voluntary performance assessment, has dispelled these myths, In the project, piloted in three different work locations, the group have established that irrespective of the type of service its quality can be measured and motivation of staff can be improved, leading to a significant improvement in service delivery. The basic premise of the project is that each employee of the health board should be able to answer three questions: what am I supposed to do? how am I doing? and what do I have to do to improve?

The prograriune will fulfil the requirements of An Bord Altranais for registration in the Psychiatric Division of the register maintained by An Bord Altranais. 2. Background and need for the programme. Mental health nursing operates in a professional environment characterised by constant change. The report titled "Future of Nurse Education in Ireland" (1994) notes that , social, technical and medical change has presented the nursing profession withchallenges requiring nurses to be flexible and adaptable. It cites the experiences in the United Kingdom and Australia where new structures in nurse education have demonstrated that effective performance of professional nursing practice can be based on a body of knowledge specific to the profession of nursing. The diversity and complexity of mental health nursing and the context of mode: in health care make it necessary to prepare mental health nurses \llho are innovative, autonomous and who can think in a critical way in relation to their clinical practice. Mental health nurse education programmes must ensure the advancement of mental health nursing practice as a credible professional option to the health care consumer. This predicates a need for nurse education to prepare such nurses not alone on par with other mental health professionals but also in line with the expectations of society and mental health service users.

Authors: Dack, P; Clarke, A; Johnson, Z; Eastern Health Board. Health Information Unit. Description: A census of population was carried out on the night of 21st of April 1991. The increase in the population of Ireland which had continued from 1961 to 1986 has : been halted and reversed - the population fell by approx. 0.5 % during the 5 year period 1986 to 1991. This fall was due to the net outward migration of 136,500 persons since 1986 which exceeded the natural increase in population (excess of births over deaths) by some 17,242. This report and the accompanying tables show the net changes which have occurred in the Eastern Health Board (EHB) area between 1986 and 1991 at both community care area level and at OED level, and also gives an age profile of the community care areas in 1991. It should be noted that the age classification is based on year of birth rather than on actual age. These are preliminary figures based on data compiled by the census enumerators during fieldwork and are subject to revision. The figures are not for publication and are supplied by the Central Statistics Office only for internal use by the Eastern Health Board.

Authors: Eastern Health Board Description: Overall there has been a major improvement in the dental health of children and teenagers in the Eastern Health Board since 1984. For example, the results of the present survey show that the prevalence of dental caries in deciduous and permanent teeth has declined by approximately 40 per cent. The prevalence of dental caries varies widely between the eight dental areas and also between the different subareas within each dental area. The pattern of treatment of dental caries also varies widely between areas and subareas. For example for 12-year-olds the percentage of the total decay experience attributable to fillings varies between 23 and 75 per cent. Wide variation was also seen in the level of fissure sealants among 8- and 12-year-olds. Mon, 01 Aug 1994 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10147/559275 1994-08-01T00:00:00Z
