Explorations in Population Health Management in Singapore
Introduction. Singapore’s ageing population, rising chronic disease burden and escalating healthcare expenditure has prompted a nationwide shift to an integrated, population-based approach to health system management. Any such approach is inherently complex with many moving parts, creating a challenge in design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, or, for that matter, even simply comprehending the tectonic transitions. This presentation, e…
Explorations in Capitation in Singapore
Introduction. Capitation, a healthcare financing model where providers receive a fixed payment per patient over a specified period regardless of services used, offers a significant shift in healthcare management. By transferring the financial risk of care quality and outcomes from consumers or third-party payers to providers, capitation incentivises preventive care, cost efficiency, and patient-centred management. However, this redistribution of …
Health and Social Care as Complex Adaptive Systems
Background: Building on concepts from Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), this paper proposes an overarching social science framework for addressing the fragmentation that exists in health and social care systems worldwide. The focus is on how relational networks might be strengthened to deliver more coordinated, integrated, whole person-centered care. The framework examines a major planned social experiment occurring in New South Wales, Australia: “…
Inducting Implementation Science into Integrated Care
The field of Integrated Care exists because our current health and social care delivery are too often fragmented and need the integrating. If we have the reality of care that is integrated, we would not need the knowledge and practice of Integrated Care. However, care systems are complex and adaptive and in constant flux and flow. They do not stop or slow down for our efforts at improvement. Rushing into action without sufficient exploration of i…
Building a healthy migrant workforce in Singapore – A cross-sectional study to understand health-seeking behaviours of male migrant workers
This study corroborated with previous observational studies where migrant workers in Singapore only sought care during an acute episode of illness. While participants perceived healthcare in Singapore to be accessible and affordable, there was limited evidence to suggest that preventive health care was prioritised. This indicates possible gaps in current outreach programmes and further development of new targeted programmes to increase the health…
Workshop launch of the Ijic Thematic issue on scale-up of integrated care interventions for chronic diseases in three diverse settings
Chronic diseases – such as Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HTN) – are on the rise globally, regardless of country income levels. A vast range of policy initiatives and interventions stimulates principles of integrated care – to prevent and manage T2D and HTN. These integrated care interventions, shown to be effective in small-scale settings, whilst mostly not technically nor medically complex, tend to be organizationally challenging: they…
Becoming Healthier
To meet the challenges of an ageing population, increasing chronic diseases, and rising healthcare costs, Singapore is embarking on a long-term, multi-year strategic reform to shift care to the community, to improve value for resources expended, and to make the prevention of diseases and complications the focus of the health and social care system. Healthier SG will launch in the middle of 2023 for those aged 60 and above. The reform will enlist,…

Integrating the Integrated Care Organisation – Optimising Resources, Operations, and Services to Create Real Value
Introduction: Implementing Integrated Care to promote and protect the health of organisations is massively complex. Historically, healthcare practitioners thought in terms of single patient acute care encounters within healthcare facilities, and seek to help the patient become “apparently well” again. With an ageing population, multiple morbidities, complex socioeconomic factors, and increasing costs, we must now reconsider our paradigms.In Singa…

The Five Eyes of Innovation
Introduction: Singapore recognises that it faces an unprecedented convergence of factors in the near future that threatens its social fabric and economic survival. The population is rapidly ageing, second only to Japan within Asia. Because of its below-replacement fertility rate and despite the potential social unease, its population has had to grow for economic sustainability. Its leading-edge medical capabilities and excellent demographic indic…
Critical Success Factors for Regional Health Systems - An International and Local Comparison of What Makes Regional Health Systems Tick
Singapore has a good reputation worldwide for somehow achieving high quality healthcare with good outcomes at relatively low cost. This has been achieved through decades of diverse innovations in health financing and investment, care delivery models and behavioural management, and the strong presence of the public sector in selected sectors. However, there is concern that past measures may yet prove inadequate, or even counterproductive, for Sing…
Integrating Our Knowledge of Integrated Care – A Framework for Knowing, Understanding, Improving and Sharing What We Know
Introduction: Integrated Care as a domain and a discipline is well established. Many have sought to define and elucidate the essence, boundaries and taxonomy of the care integration proper (one researcher has counted in excess of 175 definitions and concepts) but less attention to date has been paid to what constitutes our knowledge of the field, components which include topics as widely diverse as health systems and policies to models for the de…

Coherency and Completeness in TeleHealth / Coherencia e Integridad en “TeleHealth”
TeleHealth was formed when the essentially analogue healthcare world intersected with a very digital IT frontier. While electronic information and telecommunications technologies have created new potentials for healthcare to span time and space, it also created both a profusion of new terms born of quite different mental constructs and functional requirements, and much confusion in communications within the health informatics community
