The Health Performance Visualisation Platform (HPVP) has been introduced by the HSE to address a gap in the centralised information available to support strategic and operational performance monitoring across acute hospitals. It is being implemented firstly in 28 acute public hospitals across the country.

HPVP is a system for managing acute hospital information, which, by producing timely and meaningful reports and insights, can support hospitals in their daily and longer term decision making and will inform their planning of improvements at hospital level.

20 hospitals have the system in place and HSE are working with the remaining hospitals that are part of phase 1, to conclude the necessary data sharing agreements, with a view to them going live on the system before the end of March 2024.

The Minister has indicated funding for capital proposals will be paused until remaining hospitals demonstrate compliance with the HPVP programme.

The Minister has also asked the Department of Health’s new productivity and savings taskforce to look at using the new HPVP to prioritise where development funding should go next year.

These measures are aligned with the need to ensure we are rewarding success in the health service and meet the expectation for full transparency and engagement in system improvement from organisations that are almost exclusively funded by the Exchequer.

HSE are engaging with Hospital Management to secure confirmation of go-live dates for all remaining sites.

Phase 1 began the process of aggregating data flows from 28 acute hospitals. Phase 2 will continue this work to all remaining acute hospitals.

The following status information is correct as of 1^st March 2024. Sites are listed in no particular order. Sites yet to go live are at various stages of completing data sharing agreements.
