Themed “The Future of Care”, this year’s IHH Quality Summit was held on 21 and 22 September in Singapore. The inspiring event brought together colleagues from IHH’s network to exchange knowledge on clinical adoption of health technologies and the way these technologies help raise the bar of service quality. We were delighted to have shared at the Summit our experience in the realms of quality, safety and risk management, service excellence, IT innovation and operation excellence.

A big congratulations to our Registered Nurse Lam Chung-yan and Healthcare Assistant Wong Sze-mun at Ward 6A for winning the IHH Patient Safety Award (Best Catch) and IHH Service Excellence Award respectively. Chung-yan was recognised with her outstanding professionalism and attentiveness in safeguarding drug safety by identifying a possible medication error. Another awardee Sze-mun demonstrated exceptional care and empathy in her arranging of a celebration of an elderly patient’s last birthday, filling his last days with fond experiences.

A round of applause also to our Radiology and Service Excellence teams for the project of reducing ultrasound waiting time which was placed among the top three finalists in the IHH Quality Award (Service Excellence)!

We welcomed the return of our Chemotherapy Centre which has re-opened on 1/F of Tower A as a day centre offering chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy for cancer patients. The team is well-poised to continue to provide high-quality care and meet the increasing demand for our oncology service.

GHK staged its inaugural “Fall Prevention Awareness Week” from 11 to 14 September to raise the awareness of patients, carers and staff on fall prevention through a series of educational talks and interactive game and activities.

On an ongoing basis, our clinical teams have been implementing various inpatient fall prevention strategies, these include enhancing fall alertness of high-risk patients, fostering ward communications, and adopting the Luna Cat system to monitor and prevent possible falls. At the kick-off ceremony, Ward 5B and Ward 6B were presented the GHK Safety Spot Awards in recognition of their outstanding performance in achieving zero fall rate in the recent three months.

Thank you for actively participating in the activities and let’s join hands to strive for zero fall at GHK!
