  • New service reports to assist staff in managing appointments during the COVID-19 emergency.

The system originally went live in Linn Dara CAMHS for 40 users across the 8 clinics in Sept 2019. FIOS has been used for many years by the HSE’s CAMHS service in the Dublin North City and Central, with 140 administration, management and clinical users across their 8 community teams. The system is completely web based and the servers are securely centralised in the HSE’s data centre.

“FIOS has drastically reduced the effort spent on the monthly reporting package to the HSE, doing this manually it could take days, now it takes a few hours. The FIOS system supports the day to day operations of the clinical and administration staff, management information available through Diver dashboards and reports are available to key staff to support the drive towards continual process improvement”
