Assistant Director

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 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. This means that the Population Health Management and Value Directorate is principally an ‘enabler’ of this operational and cultural change – developing enabling infrastructure and building new capability at every level of our system in NHG on behalf of our partners and population.
