Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Ministry of Health, I would like to extend a warm invitation to you to join us at the 8th MOH Healthcare Quality Improvement Conference to be held at Resorts World Convention Centre, 10-11 October 2011.

We have come a long way from our humble origins as a half-day in-house forum at the College of Medicine Building, MOH. The event has evolved into Singapore’s leading healthcare quality conference and the last held on 6-7 Oct 2010 at the Suntec International Exhibition and Convention Centre registered the largest turnout of 1700 participants from Singapore and around the region.

This conference serves to provide a national platform for healthcare professionals to network and learn from thought leaders and experts in quality improvement and patient safety movements. The theme for the year is "Delivering Value, Enhancing Safety” as we continue to pursue clinical excellence and provide value to our patients, which could mean to them either one of the many facets of affordable care, quality care or accessible care.

Held in conjunction with the conference on 12 October 2011, would be the inaugural Intermediate and Long Term Care (ILTC) Forum, jointly organised by Ministry of Health and Agency of Integrated Care for our healthcare professionals in the intermediate and long term care sector. We aim to provide more learning opportunities for our healthcare professionals in the ILTC sector so that we could grow the sector’s capabilities and in turn provide better care for our patients. Despite having the 1-day ILTC forum, this year’s HQI Conference continues to feature a dedicated track for the ILTC sector, to update our healthcare professionals from all sectors, on quality improvement and patient safety issues and practices unique to step-down care delivery, not only for the betterment of the professionals from ILTC sector but also to better foster integrated care.

This conference will present you with many opportunities to explore how best to adopt, adapt, replicate and implement new ideas to advance the quality and safety of care at your institution.

I hope to see you this October.

PETER LEE
