Connecting Care: Less Friction for Patients, Greater Support for Caregivers

Singapore Standard Time 8:00 AM - 11:10 AM (GMT+08:00) How healthcare providers can connect patient experience and operations • Connected experiences matter: Connect patients, caregivers and healthcare teams to support better communication and continuity of care. • Smarter operations, stronger support: Use AI and automation to reduce administrative burden and ease pressure on healthcare staff. “The challenge is no longer simply providing more ways to engage. It is connecting patients, caregivers and healthcare teams so the right support is available at the right time, across the care journey.” -OpenGov Asia Singapore’s healthcare environment is becoming increasingly complex. With Singapore now a super-aged society and the prevalence of chronic diseases continuing to grow, healthcare providers face increasing demand for coordinated, accessible and sustainable care. Building a stronger community of care across patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and support teams is becoming increasingly important. For patients and caregivers, the healthcare journey can span multiple appointments, referrals, departments, care teams and communication channels. When these interactions are disconnected, it can create friction and affect continuity of care. At the same time, healthcare teams are managing growing volumes of enquiries, administrative tasks and patient interactions, making it increasingly important to reduce administrative burden and support staff wellbeing. AI, automation and connected engagement technologies offer opportunities to streamline routine interactions, improve access to information and give healthcare teams greater context across the patient journey, while supporting more connected care for patients and caregivers. Simultaneously, organisations must ensure these technologies integrate with existing systems and workflows while maintaining security, governance and appropriate human oversight. For healthcare leaders, this raises important questions: • How can providers reduce friction for patients and caregivers across the healthcare journey? • How can technology support greater continuity of care across departments, teams and care settings? • How can healthcare organisations use AI and automation to reduce administrative burden and support staff wellbeing? • How can providers improve patient engagement without compromising the human support patients and caregivers need?
