Manager

The Population Health Management (PHM) Directorate has been established to support daily clinical management to become more systematic and targeted; to ensure NHG is more informed by clinical, operational and demographic data as Regional Health Manager for Central and North Singapore; and that this informs the way in which we deploy our collective resources across all organisations to maximise the health outcomes of the local population, and establish system planning and care delivery so it is more coherent and systemic in its understanding of population health outcomes, value, and equity.

Our role in the PHM Directorate is to facilitate this change across NHG at population, provider, place, and resident level – ensuring that we address not just the clinical and preventative aspects of care but also the social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health – so that we can achieve our ambition to add 15M health years for our residents.

The Manager will support the Population Health Management (PHM) leadership in developing and maintaining comprehensive population health profiles, segment populations based on health data and risk factors, drive the population health research agenda, support the evaluation of population health programmes, provide analytical perspectives for the establishment of a more robust population health data infrastructure. Their contributions will be essential to improve care quality, outcomes, equity, and optimise system value for defined patient populations and NHG residents.

The post holder will support the team in the following areas:

1. Population Health Research and Evaluation: Use advanced data analytics and qualitative research methods (such as interviews and focus groups) to generate actionable insights, enabling researchers to identify trends, evaluate interventions, and prioritize areas for population health improvement
2. Population Health Intelligence: Leverage data analytics to fulfill user requests and provide actionable insights, enabling stakeholders to address business needs and drive informed decision-making

Key areas of responsibility:

• Support the population health research programme in the various focus areas (e.g., preventive health) to develop a learning ecosystem translating population health research into practice

• Support the generation of population insights to identify gaps in prevention and care, and evaluate the impact of interventions and projects
