   From Smart Hospitals to Smart Health Systems: Revolutionising patient care with innovation

   In this SGH Hospital of the Future podcast, Associate Professor Goh Su-Yen and Dr Chanda Kendra Ho speak with podcast guest Professor Son Meong Hi, Chief Medical Information Officer (CMIO), Samsung Medical Center (SMC). In January 2024, SMC became the first healthcare provider worldwide to achieve Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Quadruple Stage 7 validation — the highest level of digital maturity across four domains — and scored a perfect 400 out of 400 on the Digital Health Indicator. Professor Son frames SMC's digital transformation around three areas: improving existing work through tools like closed-loop medication safety and the Digital Optimization for Coordinated Care (DOCC) operations platform; reducing non-clinical burden through robotic smart carts that save nurses over 30 minutes per shift; and enabling new care models, such as paediatric social robots and PRISM, a patient-reported outcomes platform with an 85% response rate across 35 departments. Looking ahead, she sees AI implementation progressing through model performance, process integration, and real-world adoption — with the latter two stages being where most efforts fall short. Meaningful AI impact requires close dialogue between technologists and clinical teams from the outset. Professor Son recognises that no single hospital has all the answers, making peer exchange between institutions like SMC and Singapore General Hospital (SGH) essential to building the future of healthcare together.

    Beyond Hospital Walls: Home Hospital Revolution | SGH Hospital of the Future podcast

    Home provides familiarity, comfort and dignity in the recovery process. Recovering at home can significantly reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with hospital stays. It also supports emotional well-being and helps patients maintain mobility, as they are more likely to move around with appropriate supervision in a home environment. With the promise of better outcomes, lower costs and enhanced patient satisfaction, the hospital-at-home model is transforming care delivery around the world. In this episode, our SGH Hospital of the Future podcast hosts Dr Goh Su-Yen and Dr Michelle Tan, speak to Dr David Levine, Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and global leader in home hospital innovation, to explore how Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and global partners are redesigning inpatient care beyond the hospital walls. SGH adopts a digital first approach, leverages telemedicine and invests in care models such as SGH@Home, an alternative inpatient care delivery model that offers clinically suitable patients the option of receiving acute inpatient hospitalisation services in the comfort of their own homes, instead of a hospital ward. The success of home-based care relies on sophisticated digital health technologies. Remote patient monitoring devices, telehealth platforms, and artificial intelligence-driven predictive analytics work in concert to enable healthcare teams to deliver hospital-level care in domestic settings. These technologies can provide real-time vital signs monitoring, facilitate virtual consultations, and alert medical teams to potential complications before they become critical. Technological advances should be complemented by carefully designed care protocols that enable seamless coordination between healthcare providers, caregivers, and patients. Digital platforms play a crucial role in facilitating interactions, ensuring that all parties have access to relevant information and can communicate effectively. This transformation in healthcare delivery represents a reimagining of how we provide and receive medical care. As we move forward, the integration of advanced technologies with patient-centred care approaches will continue to shape the future of healthcare, making hospital at home a significant component of modern healthcare systems. About Dr David Levine Dr Levine is an expert in designing and implementing advanced home-based care, using digital health technology to drive health outcomes, and evaluating the quality, safety, and experience of health care.

    When Innovation and Culture Converge

    Join us as Jon J.P. Warner, MD (https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/16757/jon-j-p-warner)  explains Why Most Published Research Findings Are False (https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article/file?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.0020124&type=printable), and that while surgeons conduct research to validate practices, high-reliability organisations like NASA and nuclear facilities take the opposite approach—actively seeking to disprove assumptions, knowing that errors can have catastrophic consequences. This contrast highlights why innovation is essential for healthcare's survival: we must embrace change to transform healthcare delivery, and shift from self-validation to critical examination. As Founder and Emeritus Chair of the Mass General Shoulder Service (https://www.massgeneral.org/orthopaedics/shoulder/), Dr J.P.’s mission is to provide state of the art patient care based on evidence, measurement of outcomes and transparency, with the primary focus being what is in the best interest of the patient. As a fourth-generation physician, being a physician is a family business for him. Having experienced being on the other side of the knife after undergoing four shoulder surgeries as well as hip and spine surgeries, he truly believes what he does as an Orthopaedic Surgeon allows him to improve quality of life for his patients, which gratifies him immensely. Dr J.P. has empathy for patients and colleagues, and is cognisant that equitable, quality healthcare worldwide is strained by fiscal reality, making healthcare stewardship critical for hospitals to survive. He frankly discusses his definition of innovation and insights from his vast and varied experience on the best approach to building a culture of innovation in an Academic Medical Centre with our SGH Hospital of the Future podcast hosts Dr Goh Su-Yen (https://www.sgh.com.sg/profile/goh-su-yen) and Dr Denny TT Lie (https://www.sgh.com.sg/doctor/orthopaedic-surgery/lie-tijauw-tjoen-denny). Dr J.P. acknowledges healthcare's inherent resistance to change and innovation, rooted in risk-averse practices and rigid protocols. However, he reasons that economic pressures make this traditional approach unsustainable. While recognising the delicate balance required in not-for-profit healthcare, he suggests that adopting certain for-profit business principles, coupled with innovation, may be necessary for future healthcare delivery—even if this shift challenges conventional thinking. #SingaporeGeneralHospital website: www.sgh.com.sg #SGHHospitalOfTheFuture #Healthcare
