Project Introduction
Sponsor Introduction
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) is a 590-bed general and acute care hospital, managed by Alexandra Health System. Alexandra Health, together with the School of Information Systems (SIS) at the Singapore Management University (SMU) have established a partnership to work together to demonstrate fresh and better ways to serve and satisfy patients whenever they are interacting with the Alexandra Health system. Through this partnership, a joint mechanism known as the “T-Lab” has been established that enables students, staff and faculty of SMU’s School of Information Systems (SIS) to team with professionals from Alexandra Health to work on a continuing series of projects to improve service delivery, quality, productivity and experience.
This partnership also provides for academic exchanges where SIS faculty will play an active role in research studies and consultancy for KTPH. Students will be able to tap the adjunct faculty’s extensive experience for insights into the healthcare operations and service delivery. In turn, Alexandra Health staff will benefit from interacting with SMU faculty on ways to improve processes and operations.
Project Introduction
The project is part of an ongoing effort to adopt data visualization to monitor public health by KTPH. Based on data from health screening and KTPH alignment programs, a dashboard can be constructed to assist health officers of KTPH to observe public health conditions, single out unhealthy individuals, and monitor their health progress. Additionally, the dashboard serves as a means to evaluate effectiveness of KTPH alignment programs to improve public health, and provide insights that can refine these programs to better target the population in future.
Project Objectives
This project is a follow-up of an IS480 project by team Cinquefoil. Our aim is to improve the KTPH dashboard by adopting a richer set of visualization techniques, so as to enable a more user-centric data querying and discovery process. KTPH users will be able to use the dashboard to identify unhealthy individuals of the population, the areas they are in, take appropriate actions and monitor the results of such actions.
As such, the objectives of our analytics project consist of the following:
- To visualize effectively the current health condition of the public across various regions of Singapore
- To allow health officers to track the health progress of individual at risks
- To assist health officers in monitoring the penetration rate of KTPH alignment programs targeted at the general public
- To allow users to interact with visualizations, thereby forming their own query and arriving at their own findings
