Abstract:

Singapore healthcare moved from a focus on ‘Disease Management’ in the 2000s, to ‘Integrated Care’ in the 2010s, and to ‘Population Health’ today. Integrated Care and Population Health are often confused and used interchangeably but are conceptually distinct and the strategies for implementation must be different in emphasis and scope. Success in Population Health Management requires a subtle but radical shift in mindset and approach. Research, policy and practice around the world illustrating the debate and its implications for people centred-care will be explored.
