SINGAPORE – Waiting times have improved and treatment is better coordinated with a model of care launched less than a year ago at the emergency department at Tan Tock Seng Hospital .
The initiative to improve waiting time and provide timely treatment, which was rolled out in June 2022, is a collaboration by the physiotherapy, emergency, orthopaedic, hand and reconstructive microsurgery, and radiology departments at the hospital. “A key benefit is it helps increase efficiency in the ED. As doctors, we are able to focus on treating life-threatening emergencies,” said senior consultant in emergency medicine Terence See.
“After registering and seeing a triage nurse, I only waited 30 to 45 minutes before I was ushered into a room to see an APP. I was sent for an X-ray to ensure there is no fracture and by the time I was told what the issue was, taught to do exercises and given my medication, I was out of the ED in just three hours,” she said.
