Client Story
Providing continuum of care for cancer patients between inpatient and outpatient settings
Challenge
SingHealth is Singapore’s largest public healthcare cluster, and it uses Sunrise to connect healthcare teams across its network of acute and community hospitals, national specialty centres, such as the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), and polyclinics.
As part of NCCS’ commitment to deliver the best cancer care to patients in Singapore and the region, SingHealth started working on an extended e-chemotherapy project that encompasses the delivery of Sunrise Oncology as one component.
The intention is to create a paperless electronic oncology workflow by consolidating the workflow for medical oncology across multiple SingHealth institutions, including NCCS, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital plus satellite, as well as outpatient cancer treatment centres at Sengkang General Hospital and Changi General Hospital. This brings together existing paper and electronic workflows into Sunrise to standardise and enhance the integration with patients’ electronic medical records.
Results
- Reduced time taken for patient oncology records to be assessed across the care continuum
- Enhanced patient safety due to clinical decision support and alerts
- Improved efficiency and coordination among clinicians
- Harmonised protocols and processes across institutions and venues of care
