Kainos & AWS: Working together for Tallaght University Hospital

Tallaght University Hospital (TUH) is one of Ireland’s largest acute teaching hospitals with adult, psychiatric, paediatric and age-related healthcare on one site. The Hospital is a provider of local, regional and national specialties. It is also a national urology centre, the second largest provider of dialysis services in the country and is a designated trauma unit.

TUH is one of the two main teaching hospitals of Trinity College Dublin - specialising in the training and professional development of staff in areas such as nursing, health & social care professionals, emergency medicine and surgery, amongst many others. TUH is part of the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group which serves a population of over 1.2M across seven counties.

As core theme throughout the Hospital’s five-year Strategy (2019-2024), is the improvement of access to our services. The strategy includes a  combination of care pathway redesign and capacity investment actions aimed specifically to improve wait times. A critically important element of achieving this is digital enablement, harnessing all elements of the strategy to consolidate the Hospital’s position as a leader in integrated care.

The programme of digital enablement will see widespread replacement of a key legacy systems, improve care and make an ambitious vision of a digital hospital, a reality.
