“…In addition to using data to understand complex-care patients, HIS features such as integrated health data structures have the potential to help identify population groups with complex needs, compare the performance of various treatments, increase the effectiveness of responses to public health emergencies, and help detect inefficiencies in the healthcare system (Colombo et al, 2020). For example, such structures are being used for targeted medical solutions for groups such as those with diabetes (Schüssler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2019;Zhou et al, 2019).…”

“…This has been recognised by many groups. A study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) of HIS in OECD countries indicated that a digital transformation is currently being hampered by healthcare workers being 'illprepared' for such a change (Colombo et al, 2020). A review of the use of HIS for chronic illness showed that, while the benefits are clear, there are some negative aspects (Dorr et al, 2007).…”

“…The ability of a healthcare system to effectively and efficiently meet the demands of the population depends on the quality of the health information structures and systems on which it relies. Developing strong health information systems (HIS) and introducing eHealth are now key strategic priorities for most health systems (Colombo et al, 2020). It has been acknowledged by policymakers that Ireland lacks a HIS comparable with many of its European peers (HSE, 2013;.…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st Century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T.K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland.Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.
