Portiuncula University Hospital was found to be mostly compliant following an announced inspection by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) earlier this year.
The inspection, which took place over two days in May, found the hospital to be compliant or substantially compliant with nine of 14 national standards assessed.
HIQA's report also said the hospital was partially compliant with four standards but non-compliant with one.
HIQA found the hospital to be compliant or substantially compliant with nine national standards, partially compliant with four, and non-compliant with one standard assessed.
The hospital had an effective arrangement in place to support and promote the delivery of care in the Emergency Department, but was challenged with capacity issues resulting in poor patient flow.
There was, however, a mismatch between demand for inpatient beds, especially isolation facilities, and the hospital's overall capacity.
This had resulted in 14 admitted patients being accommodated in an overcrowded Emergency Department environment.
HIQA said it was evident that management and staff were aware of the need to respect and promote the dignity, privacy and autonomy of people receiving care at the hospital.
Patients who spoke with inspectors were positive about their experience.
It also said that management ensured nursing, medical and support staff in the Emergency Department and wider hospital were working to support the provision of high-quality and safe healthcare.
The hospital was also actively recruiting to fill vacant posts, such as pharmacy vacancies, which had been challenging to recruit for.
