Personnel Department St.Vincent’s Healthcare Group 204 Good,Maeve Doyle, James Mulhall,Christopher Grade III Clerical OfficerSchool of Nursing Executive Chef Laundry Porter Workplace Partnership in St Vincent’s University Hospital Part of our culture in St.Vincent’s University Hospital (SVUH) has always been to ensure that staff at all levels have ample opportunity to contribute their views and ideas about change within their areas of expertise, and beyond.This level of involvement has been achieved through the work of department heads,the Mission Group, and a variety of communications and consultation processes.More recently, we introduced a formal partnership process to SVUH when,in October 2002,a Partnership Committee was established to support and strengthen existing relationships and take a lead role in developing,supporting and evaluating workplace partnership in the hospital.Our initiative follows on from the establishment by the Health Service employers and trade unions of the Health Services National Partnership Forum,the drawing up of a Health Services Agreement on partnership, and the rollout of local partnership activity within each health board and major hospitals across the country. Partnership in the workplace, involving management, union representatives and staff – with the patient or service user at the centre – is now central to the change agenda in the Health Services and an integral part of the National Health Strategy, Sustaining Progress and the Health Reform Programme. Initially, the Partnership Committee in SVUH began work on articulating its vision and values and,through a series of workshops and discussion, developed a Partnership Service Plan,linked to the overall service plan for the hospital.The focus of the Partnership Service Plan is very much about "how we do things in the hospital".The Plan includes: •Working to enable the successful implementation of the hospital's Provider Plan and the service plans of individual departments. •Implementing key actions from the APPM •Supporting implementation of the SVUH Communications Programme – including Intranet development •Supporting the accreditation process across the three hospitals in SVHG •Piloting further Future Search events within departments •Continuing to participate in National Partnership Programmes •Contributing to the North/South Catering Project •Preparing for a smooth and successful move to the new building •Supporting dialogue and networking around the pilot phase of the Hanly Report in SVUH/ECAHB We have opened a Partnership Office in the hospital through which,with the support of HSNPF, we provide support, facilitation and co-funding for partnership projects and initiatives.

Total Purchase e-Procurement Personnel in the purchasing department have been actively involved in the introduction of e-procurement systems from suppliers.Currently 14% of all purchase order expenditure passes through these systems. In May of 2003 we also up graded the purchasing system to a windows version, this has improved the workflow and improved our reporting facilities Savings Service Departments 2001 2002 2003 Orders 19,049 18,783 17,166 Total Value €23,514,9 €21,787,514 €23,943,843 Savings:Total Savings for 2003 was €370,000 which includes the Hospital Procurement Group new tenders and contracts. P u rchasing & Pro c u re m e n t D e p a r t m e n t CSSD In July of this year the department took over the complete purchasing and issuing of items to all theatre and wards. It is envisaged that that area will be incorporated into the main purchasing and central supplies function later in 2004. New Developments for 2004 The Theatre Top Up system now includes Anaesthetics,Sutures, Gowns & Drapes,Orthopaedics,and consignment stock system for Auto Sutures. It is planned to extend this service to Pain Management products. By end of July it is planned to go to Tender for Custom Procedure Trays (CPT). Top Up Stock Management system now includes St. Raphael’s ward and St Paul’s ward, with a planned roll out to include other high spend areas in 2004 such as Angio X-ray and I.C.U. 205 •Supporting the work of the Training and Development function in SVUH to identify training needs and provide inputs to the training programme •Monitor IR trends and,when agreed,selecting issues that are amenable to alternative approaches to resolution,such as Joint Problem Solving SVUH Partnership Committee 2003 Nicholas C Jermyn, Eamonn Fitzgerald, Dr. Risteard Ó Laoíde, Pauline Doyle, Mary Shore, Orla Maguire, David Britton,John Hickey, Doreen Bourke, Sarah Butler, Dermot Cullinan,Dr. Marie Staunton,John McAdam.Noel Cassidy, Nuala Gannon,Serena Lloyd, Fionnuala Duffy. Capital Equipment The hospital spent over €2.5Million on Capital Purchases this year.

The new Psychiatry, Pharmacy and Mortuary buildings were handed over to Technical services by the Main Project Team for on going corrective and preventative maintenance. Our PEMAC plant register was upgraded to include the new plant and equipment within these buildings. During the initial handover failure and root cause analysis was carried out on the plant and all faults notified and logged with the project department.The Technical Services Department continues to liase with the Main Project Team and contractors on site regarding the main building,which is scheduled for handover in 2005. Within the Technical Services Department,the Minor Capital Works Project Team completed a substantial number of refurbishment, conversions and upgrade projects utilising a combination of in-house technical services staff and external contractors.A summary of the major projects are as follows. • Heart/Lung Transplant assessment area. • Histology Cut-Up area including installation of new cut-up bench. • Emergency Department Triage Room and Rapid Assessment Room. • Oncology Centre (conversion of old Day Centre). • St Peter’s CAPD Room. • CCU step-down nurses station and combined conference room / dayroom upgrade. • Liver Ward extension,upgrade of existing ward (ex.St. Clares) to create an 11-bed extension for the National Liver Unit. • Major refurbishment of Main Kitchen facilities including installation of new equipment. • Refurbishment of the Hospital Shop • Refurbishment of funeral facilities in the Mortuary. • Painting of various areas to a planned programme. As an on going policy of technical services various infrastructure improvements were carried out and new equipment installed to phase out old and obsolete plant equipment.A brief summary of the projects are listed below. • Cable TV infrastructure upgraded. • Convent and Kitchen plant-rooms controls upgraded to improve energy efficiency and increase control • Completion of bedpan washer replacement in all wards. • Histology & Dialysis drains upgraded. • New air - conditioning was installed in a number of areas to improve working conditions. • Mains water booster pump replaced. • Biochemistry essential electrical supplies were placed on the Central UPS System. The routine maintenance of existing plant and equipment was carried out through the different trades on site, capenters, electricians, fitter/plumbers and painters to maintain existing infrastructure and new plant.Using both The PEMAC Building Maintenance System and the Building Management System • Maintenance work was carried out at such times to minimize any adverse effect on patient care. • Delays in rectifying all work requests were kept to a minimum to ensure a quick response to all problems reported. • All work requests were tracked and prioritised to ensure critical requests were completed in an efficient manner. • Using the Building Management System energy readings were monitored and corrective action was initiated if required to ensure an efficient energy usage policy within St Vincent’s University Hospital.
