AUTOMATION CAN ASSIST SERVICES IN KEEPING UP WITH THE URGENT HEALTHCARE NEEDS IN SINGAPORE.
Digital and intelligent automation have the potential to promote more sustainable healthcare.
Healthcare authorities in Singapore are emphasising mental health advocacy more when offering support for junior healthcare personnel as a result of a significant shift in the dialogue around mental health that has occurred in the healthcare sector.
The strain on Singapore's healthcare system grows as more primary and secondary healthcare personnel become burned out fighting the pandemic. Before 2020, there were 2.6 and 7.4 doctors and nurses for every 1,000 patients, respectively. The system, on the other hand, ran the risk of being "overwhelmed" in terms of resources and medical personnel only a few months ago. The pandemic's peak in Singapore over the past few months, along with the difficulties of an ageing population and rising living costs, are evidence that our healthcare system needs to deliver healthcare services more smartly and efficiently to address pressing issues like long working hours and the high volume of A&E patients.

Technology may be utilised to enhance the experiences of both employees and patients as the government digitalizes the nation's healthcare services. Automation was identified as one of the Centre for Healthcare Assistive and Robotics Technologies' (CHART) key focus areas in April of last year. The Center is led by Changi General Hospital, the Ministry of Health (MOH), and the Singapore Economic Development Board. Its goals are to increase employee productivity, improve health and clinical outcomes by extending human capabilities, and enhance patient care.
The strategic plan makes it clear that the digital solutions supporting CHART's goals will be fueled, in part, by automation to further expand and improve digital services, which are already in use across the nation's healthcare systems.
