Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Changi General Hospital and IHiS — the Health Ministry's IT arm — have clinched the Asia Pacific HIMSS Elsevier Award for using innovative techniques to improve patient care.
One technique employed by Tan Tock Seng is a bedside tablet which records a patient's vital signs — such as blood pressure, oxygen levels and pulse — and uploads them wirelessly to the hospital's medical records.
Another breakthrough technology is the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to track patients' temperatures and locations in real time.
