Abstract
This article outlines the steps taken in a change management project to develop and implement a national caseload management framework for clinical nursing activities within public health nursing services in the Republic of Ireland. It involved the development of metrics, definitions, data collection resources and relevant written procedures. It was developed and implemented over a period of 12 months and involved the engagement and involvement of approximately 2000 frontline, management and administrative staff. Implementation was challenging due to the lack of software systems to collect and return data and support caseload management. Alternative IT-based data collection systems were identified, and work is ongoing to develop additional metrics and resources that will continue to support caseload management.
