Recommendation 14.1 of the COVID-19 Nursing Homes Expert Panel report recommended the development of a clear document outlining the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the ongoing response to COVID-19 in nursing homes, including a clear overview of the roles and responsibilities of the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET), the Department of Health, HSE, HIQA, and individual providers.
The document below, COVID-19 Response: Nursing Homes, Overview of Roles of Key Stakeholders has been developed by the Department in consultation with relevant agencies, the Implementation Oversight Team and the Reference Group established to support the implementation of the Expert Panel’s recommendations. The document outlines the roles and responsibilities of the NPHET, Department of Health, HSE, HIQA, NTPF, and individual nursing homes providers and gives a clear overview of the measures that have been put in place to help reduce the impact of COVID-19 in nursing homes, as well detailing the existing functions of stakeholders in the provision of nursing home care.
COVID-19 Response: Nursing Homes, Overview of Roles of Key Stakeholders provides a valuable background to the current COVID-19 response in nursing homes, and ensures that the roles of each of the stakeholders in providing safe long-term residential care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic are clearly described. As well as outlining the legal role and functions of the various stakeholders the document also outlines and provides detail on the enhanced support and other measures developed by agencies throughout the pandemic to support nursing homes and their residents to manage the challenges of COVID-19.
It is intended that this will be a living document and will be updated periodically, where the need arises, as the response to COVID-19 and the implementation of the Expert Panel’s recommendations evolves.
