Evaluating the Impact of Medical Short Stay Wards on Hospital Efficiency and Patient Outcomes in Yishun Health, Singapore
Background: Yishun Health (YH) is a regional hospital system in the north of Singapore. Analysis of YH systemic patient segmentation revealed that low acuity and low needs patients constituted over half of emergency admissions, significantly impacting bed occupancy. To address this, Medical Short Stay Wards (MSSW) were introduced to improve outcomes, staff satisfaction, and system efficiency. The MSSW aims to provide integrated and interdisciplin…
Evaluating the Patient Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness of the Medical Home Service
Background: Yishun Health (YH) is a regional hospital system in the north of Singapore under the National Healthcare Group. In 2019, YH launched the Medical Home (MH) service, a Hospital-at-Home (HAH) service, aimed at delivering multi-disciplinary integrated acute medical care in patients' homes. Subsequently, the “Expand Acute Care Beyond Hospital” initiative was adopted as one of the four Strategic Priorities of YH to accelerate development of…
Evaluation of Yishun Health Integrated Medical Clinic Services for Geriatric Patients with Complex Healthcare Needs
Background: Yishun Health(YH) introduced the Integrated Medical Clinic(IMC) to address fragmented care for complex patients as part of care transformation using the Unified Care Model(UCM), guided by YH Health System Transformation Playbook(HSTP). Patients were segmented according to their bio-psycho-social needs, and eligible residents were invited to enroll in the IMC service during a subsequent visit to a Specialist Outpatient Clinic(SOC). Enr…
Health commitment’s associations with health outcomes are independent of health behaviours
These findings underscore the importance of assessing and addressing health commitment in healthcare practice and policy. Strategies to enhance health commitment hold potential for improving health behaviours and health outcomes, thereby contributing to overall well-being. However, it is important to note that the cross-sectional nature of this study does not allow for confirmation of causal pathways. Hence, longitudinal studies are needed to fur…
Person-centered Needs Assessment for a Regional Population in the North of Singapore Using a Population Health Survey
Background: Yishun Health (YH), a regional population health system under Singapore’s National Healthcare Group expanded its role beyond healthcare provision, to care for more than 330,000 residents in northern Singapore. This prompted transformation towards a more effective and sustainable Unified Care Model (UCM). YH adopted a value-driven strategy, involving needs-based population segmentation, segment-specific interventions, and systematic me…

Yishun Health (YH) is a regional hospital system caring for 300,000 people in the north of Singapore that has embarked on a multi-year, whole regional health system transformation to improve outcomes. Care and services delivery transformation to enable greater pe…
Understanding the health experiences of the residents in the North of Singapore – Development of a Resident Health Experience Tool
Background: Yishun Health (YH), a regional population health system in Singapore, has expanded its role beyond healthcare provision to collaboratively care for more than 330,000 residents in Northern Singapore with community partners. This prompted transformation towards a more person-centred Unified Care Model (UCM), delivering care through its subsidiary integrated Lifelong Care (LC) and Episodic Care (EC) models. Experience is a critical compo…
An evaluation of the introduction of telehealth for remote antenatal and postnatal contacts in Bangladesh and Lao People’s Democratic Republic during the Covid-19 pandemic
From 2020, COVID-19 spread rapidly around the globe and continues to have a major impact on health system functioning, with a disproportionate impact on low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Reduced service utilisation and coverage of essential childbirth interventions is likely impacting maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. Telehealth has been identified as an important tool in the continued provision of essential healthcare services…
Seaweed aquaculture through the lens of gender
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors worldwide. Of particular importance is the cultivation of seaweed, particularly in East and Southeast Asia where seaweeds dominate the production market, and are key for coastal communities both as main livelihood source and as alternative or supplementary income to fisheries. Women play a crucial role in various segments of the seaweed aquaculture value chain; yet few researchers h…
