Rooted in seven key principles, Building Excellence in Care, Together, Beaumont Hospital’s Strategic Plan to drive excellence in healthcare for the next five years, is a patient-centred strategy that underscores the hospital’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability.
Informed by public health, Census 2022 population and hospital inpatient and outpatient data and insights from stakeholders, the new strategic plan provides a blueprint to ensure Beaumont Hospital can best serve the needs of an aging local population of more than half a million and the complex surgical and advanced care needs of patients across the newly established Dublin North and North East health region.
It also addresses the needs of patients across Ireland who require access to national cancer, transplant and neuroscience services, including neurosurgery, neurology, stroke, cochlear implantation and neuro-ICU.
The strategic principles outlined in Beaumont Hospital’s plan are:
- Patients. Our patients remain at the heart of everything we do. The hospital is committed to delivering patient-centred care that is safe, compassionate, and equitable. Enhancing the patient experience will continue to drive all service improvements and initiatives.
- Our people and culture. Beaumont Hospital recognises that its greatest asset is its workforce. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and professional growth, the hospital aims to attract, retain and empower its staff to excel in their roles and deliver world-class care.
- Our clinical and corporate governance. Strong governance ensures accountability and continuous improvement. Beaumont Hospital will enhance its clinical and corporate structures to maintain the highest standards of safety, transparency, and organisational integrity.
- Our physical, diagnostic and digital infrastructure. Investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure is critical to delivering cutting-edge care. The hospital will prioritise modernisation of facilities, adoption of advanced diagnostic tools, and the integration of digital health technologies to improve accessibility and efficiency.
- Our national, regional and local service profile. As a leading healthcare provider, Beaumont Hospital is committed to strengthening its role and further developing its profile across all levels of the health system. Collaboration with national, regional, and local partners will ensure that services are aligned with community needs and healthcare priorities.
- Our clinical, educational and research partnerships. Partnerships with academic institutions and research organisations are vital to innovation and excellence. Beaumont Hospital will expand its collaborations to drive advancements in clinical practice, education, and medical research.
- Our performance, productivity and sustainability. To ensure a resilient future, Beaumont Hospital will focus on enhancing operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and environmental stewardship. Performance metrics will guide continuous improvement and accountability across all areas.
