Dr Valerie Teo, head of Kallang Polyclinic, said:"Now as we are heading towards digitalisation and automation, we need to innovate especially primary health care, improve our efficiency and at the same time, enhance our patient safety." Formed last year, the council has helped to deliver solutions for patients. For instance, it helped simplify instructions for the self-help blood pressure machines in the polyclinic and recommended having a dedicated holder that patients could easily place their urine samples in, to speed up the collection process.
