Deputy Director, clinical transformation
- Job Purpose
As a member of NHG Health’s Clinical Transformation Department, the Assistant/Deputy Director will play an integral role in clinical transformation, which entails strategic clinical planning and care delivery model evolution towards (1) improving Care Access, and (2) developing clinical excellence (i.e. NHG Institutes/Centres and Cluster-level services).
As one of three public healthcare clusters in Singapore, NHG Health is entrusted to serve about one-third of national population (1.6M Residents) healthcare needs. Faced with a rapidly ageing population, workforce/talent crunch and rising healthcare cost pressure (within capitation funding model), improving Care Access and developing Clinical Excellence demands a can-do spirit and an innovative mind.
To this end, the Assistant/Deputy Director is expected to be a good team player, resourceful and collaborative partner to clinicians and administrators across various institutions of NHG Health, as well as a liaison with external stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health (and its agencies), government entities and other partnering healthcare providers/professionals.
He or she will be integrally involved in examining current “delivery of care” landscape (emphasizing timeliness, value, and sustainability), sectors of internal clinical strength, identifying/harnessing opportunities in people/process-related matters and relevant externalities. The goal is for NHG Health to be a trusted healthcare provider to our population whenever any healthcare need arises. Driving a continuous loop of defining/overcoming barriers while championing innovation and adoption of best practices/technology, he/she will contribute towards positioning NHG Health positively in all 5 interconnected Healthcare systems of preventive care, primary care, acute care, aged care and palliative care.
