• Integrated Care: Aligns services across institutions, including Singapore General Hospital and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, to support continuity from paediatric to adult care.
• Data Tracking: Development of a centralised allergy database to identify high-risk patients and monitor clinical outcomes across the SingHealth cluster.
• Diagnostic Review: Introduces systematic evaluation of reported allergies using skin-prick and blood tests to address inaccurate allergy labels.
