  • Clinical Directory
    Clinical Directory One Care Team One-Stop Care Healthcare Redesigned NUHS Mission To advance health by synergising care, education and research, in partnership with patients and the community. NUHS Vision A Healthy Community Shaping Medicine Transforming Care Alexandra Hospital Purpose Statement We redesign healthcare with and for humanity. Welcome to Alexandra Hospital The new Alexandra Hospital experience is designed to meet your needs at every step of your healthcare journey – from prevention to early intervention, consultation, admission, discharge, and post-discharge. Here, care is anchored by a Doctor, leading a One Care Team comprised of Nurses, Allied Health Professionals, Service Associates, Care Managers, Pharmacists, and supported by Specialists. We work closely with our patients, their caregivers and families, as well as those who are well – at home and in the community. In inpatient care, services will revolve around a patient who stays in the same hospital throughout his or her hospital time, with one care team providing seamless acute care, sub-acute and rehabilitative care from admission to discharge. This contrasts with the conventional model of patients needing to be transferred from an acute hospital to a community hospital. The intensity and type of care are seamlessly matched to the trajectory of the patient’s illness. Our CareHub will run a tele-triage and consultation hotline centre, which draws on the resources and expertise of the entire NUHS and its partners to identify and match care needs with the appropriate sites and providers of care. The hub will help the patients navigate the complex system, facilitate transfers between institutions, institute measures to prevent re-admissions and anchor care at home and in the community.

  • Evaluation of a Sustainable Hospital Design Based on Its Social and Environmental Outcomes
    EVALUATION OF A SUSTAINABLE HOSPITAL DESIGN BASED ON ITS SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Ziqi Wu May 2011 © 2011 Ziqi Wu ABSTRACT The study assessed the performance of a newly-built sustainable hospital by comparing the thermal comfort of its patients and staff, and the ambient thermal conditions with those of two other hospitals with less sophisticated designs. Additionally, a facility management perspective was used to understand the role hospital administrators had in contributing to sustainable design outcomes and document the unanticipated challenges and unintended consequences of operating the newly-built sustainable hospital. Data were collected through thermal environment equipment, a thermal comfort survey, and interviews with care providers, patients, and facility managers. The hypotheses were that the hospital with the modern and more sophisticated sustainable ventilation design features would have a higher level of thermal comfort and lower heat index in the naturally ventilated wards than hospitals without those features and that thermal comfort would be higher in air-conditioned wards than naturally ventilated wards. The results indicate that sophisticated sustainable hospital designs can improve the ambient thermal environment and occupant thermal comfort but not all those features were necessary. The study also suggests the need for adopting an integrated sustainable design strategy to prevent or mitigate some of the facility operation challenges encountered. Additionally, the study proposes for a shift in thermal comfort standards and green building rating tools to meet the unique thermal comfort needs of hospital users.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE 23 October 2014 PUBLIC HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS JOIN FORCES TO CHAMPION SUPPLIERS AT INAUGURAL HEALTHCARE SUPPLIER AWARDS 2014 Three public healthcare providers are coming together for the first time to honour the often unsung efforts of healthcare suppliers to improve patient care. The inaugural Healthcare Supplier Awards 2014 initiative is a joint effort between National Healthcare Group (NHG), National University Hospital (NUH) and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). The Awards acknowledge the contributions of some 13 suppliers who have contributed to better patient outcomes through improved patient safety, cost-effectiveness and productivity for the staff. The Awards ceremony will be held on October 27, in conjunction with the annual NHG Quality Day 2014. Creating better patient outcomes in public healthcare Abacus GT Pte Ltd took top honours in the Innovation Supplier category with its project: “Innovative Robotic solutions to improve Patients’ care and productivity”. The company worked with the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to develop and implement the use of a robotic bed transporter system which makes it easier for healthcare staff to move patient beds. The system cuts manpower needs for bed transportation by some 50 per cent – requiring only one porter, instead of two. This speeds up patient transfers and helps older porters manage the physical demands of their job better. The company also developed a separate robotic transporter to deliver laboratory specimens to and from wards. The system reduces the need for manual deliveries while also ensuring specimen safety during the transportation process. Second-place winner in the same category, “TTSH SmartSense MDI” by Cadi Scientific Pte Ltd, has saved at least 140 hours of nurses’ time daily at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
