Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that the RCSI Hospital Group has seen a 12-year low in terms of patients waiting on trolleys.
After meeting the group along with Minister for Health Simon Harris, Mr Varadkar said it was important to see if similar measures can be replicated in other hospitals.
One of the measures identified is greater use of advanced nurse practitioners.
The RCSI Hospital Group is seen as one of the better performers in terms of overcrowding levels.
A spokesperson for the Taoiseach said he wanted to hear from the group what measures they have put in place that may work in other hospitals around the country.
Among the hospitals in the group are Beaumont, Connolly and Our Lady of Lourdes in Drogheda.
Nationally, overcrowding levels are low today with 285 patients waiting in emergency departments or on wards for admission to a bed.
The hospitals worst affected are University Hospital Limerick with 45 patients waiting, and Cork University Hospital with 30 patients waiting.
Among the RCSI Group hospitals, both Beaumont and Our Lady of Lourdes in Drogheda had no patients on trolleys this morning in their emergency departments.
Beaumont had three patients waiting on wards. Connolly had three waiting in the emergency department and six patients on wards.
The figures are compiled by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
Department of Health set for new HQ in Dublin city centre
The Department of Health has said that all efforts are being made to maintain business as usual as it moves to a new headquarters in Dublin.
It is due to have moved out of Hawkins House on Poolbeg Street by the end of next weekend.
Its new headquarters will be at Block 1, Miesian Plaza, 50-58 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2.
The first part of the move began last weekend.
The department said there may be some disruption to normal services during the move.
Hawkins House is due to be demolished as part of a redevelopment of Dublin city centre.
The state of the building has been the subject of regular criticism.
The department has been there since the 1970s and the site used to be where the old Theatre Royal once stood.
