Overview:
Alexandra Hospital (AH) has been under the National University Health System (NUHS) since 1 June 2018 and will serve as a 326-bedder facility, providing seamless, one-stop comprehensive care by one care team to some 100,000 residents in the Queenstown precinct (the oldest housing estate) and Southwest and the rest of Singapore.
Alexandra Hospital is the first Integrated General Hospital in Singapore to provide holistic and seamless care from acute and sub-acute to rehabilitative settings, reducing the need for a patient to transfer to another healthcare institution. Our clinical model is team-led and program-based. This means that every patient who comes to Alexandra Hospital will be placed under at least one of our five core clinical programs, and be taken care of by a single doctor and the same care team, under one of these programs.
Our five clinical programs are:
• Be Better (Preventive Care)
• Get Better (Acute Care)
• Live Better (Chronic Care)
• Age Better (Healthy Ageing)
• Cope Better (Supportive and Palliative Care)
Through the Community Care Coordination Unit (C3U), the hospital's Care Managers assist patients, and families with the help of community partners so that medical and social help can be planned and provided to those who need it and continuously by primary care providers, thereby empowering them to stay healthy at home and in the community.
