Developing an outcomes framework with services in the Republic of Ireland
With funding from the SPARK Consultant Innovation Fund, CORC have been working collaboratively with four CAMHS services and the HSE Child and Youth Mental Health Office (CYMHO) to develop and implement an outcomes framework for CAMHS. The framework will be built into Pod, an online data collection tool that supports settings to measure mental health outcomes and feedback data.
We worked with four child and adolescent mental health services in Inishowen, Monaghan, Lucena and Sligo, Leitrim and West Cavan. In August 2025, the HSE Child and Youth Mental Health Office (CYMHO) joined the project team to provide additional support and strengthen alignment with a wider programme of reform and digital transformation across Child and Youth Mental Health Services (CYMHS), including implementation of the Community Care Record, the HSE App, and the CYMHO’s commitment to embedding a Learning Health System across services. More information on the CYMHO Action Plan is available here.
