Synopsis - Towards Seamless Quality Care - Together
The WHO defines Integrated Health Services as the management and delivery of health services such that people receive a continuum of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, disease-management, rehabilitation and palliative care services, through the different levels and sites of care within the health system, and according to their needs throughout the life course Achieving this requires a fundamental shift in the way health services are managed and delivered.

The Ministry of Health had formed six Regional Health Systems to facilitate planning, development and delivery of healthcare to a defined geographic area and population catchment. The aim is to develop a patient-centric healthcare ecosystem comprising of partners from the primary, acute and step down care sectors working together to deliver integrated healthcare services to improve patient outcomes.

The speaker will share how a Regional Health System in Singapore has sought to work with its partners to deliver such care using a combination of face to face and virtual services focusing on moving beyond the hospital to the community, beyond cost to value and beyond healthcare to health.
