Calculation
> Population CHO1 = 389,048
> Population CHO3 = 385,172
> Total Population (CHO1 + CHO3) = 770,220

> Total population served by community neuro-rehab teams = 770,220 / 5,150,000 = 15%
3. HSE National Policy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland, Implementation Framework 2019 - 2021, Page 27, Calculation of bed days
Calculation
> Total Bed Days = 234,347 - 41,596 (CHO1 + CHO3) = 192,751
> Average Stay = 13.6 days
> Number of days saved due to team = 3 days
> Number of bed days saved = 192,751/13.6 = 14,173 x 3 = 42,518 days
4. HSE National Policy for the Provision of Neuro-Rehabilitation Services in Ireland, Implementation Framework 2019 - 2021, Page 4, Calculation of savings
Calculation
> Total cost saving = 42,518 days x €850 = €36,140,300
> Cost of team = €450,0007
> Number of teams needed = 7
> Total costs of new teams = €450,000 x 7 = €3,150,000
> Saving per €1 spent on team = €36,140,300/€3,150,000 = €11.47
