how IHiS worked to overhaul Covid counter measures

The COVID-19 pandemic has made life almost unbearable since the first case was reported in Singapore. After all, it made it difficult for individuals and businesses to go about their daily activities. This is because many people were jobless after most Singapore businesses closed.

Furthermore, others had to work from home without interacting with their colleagues. So, while normalcy is slowly returning in the country, we must thank those who played a vital role in containing the virus. And when giving out accolades, we can never forget about the Integrated Health Information System (IHiS), the architect and implementer of public healthcare systems in Singapore.

You might already be wondering how IHiS worked to overhaul Covid counter measures. To give you the tip of the iceberg, the team at IHiS worked day and night to develop the command, control, and communications (C3) system. IHiS pandemic management systems were leveraged by the Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). They helped the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) quickly make bed space available for patients and safely navigate the crowd flow as COVID-19 numbers surged.

For those who might have no idea what we are talking about, the C3 system relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics. This is fascinating as it helps predict demand for hospital beds and other healthcare resources. This is one of the main reasons IHiS is a “Tech Heroes from Crisis” winner.
The system made IHiS honored in IT Leader Awards and has garnered more than 80 awards for its innovations. Today, IHiS supports the operations of 46 public healthcare institutions, including acute hospitals, specialty centers, and polyclinics. However, it doesn't stop at that since it boasts over 1,400 partners, including community hospitals, nursing homes, general practitioner clinics, and voluntary welfare organizations.

The C3 System by IHiS has undoubtedly helped the healthcare sector in Singapore greatly, especially when dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. This system has over 1,500 indicators, including tracking hospital equipment and how congested beds and wards are, many of which are monitored in real-time.

You ought to remember that the CEO of IHiS is Bruce Liang, as stated by Straits Times, and continues to play a vital role in making the agency successful. Check out its official website today to find out more.
