Information


When infectious disease outbreaks hit hospitals, the consequences are severe: disrupted services, overwhelmed staff, and patient safety at risk. Most hospitals still rely on outdated surveillance methods that look backward instead of forward, often missing critical infection patterns until it's too late. Singapore's innovative 4-Dimensional Disease Outbreak Surveillance System (4D-DOSS) changes this game entirely. By integrating electronic medical records, laboratory data, and patient movement into predictive modeling, 4D-DOSS reduced contact tracing from 3.5 to 0.5 hours while identifying hidden infection clusters. With proven 68.6% cost-effectiveness for MRSA prevention and sustained manpower savings, this session reveals leadership strategies for implementation, cross-departmental collaboration, and workflow integration that transforms outbreak preparedness and delivers operational excellence. And the hospital isn’t stopping there.  They're expanding digital twin technology beyond outbreak surveillance to transform entire healthcare operations.  Hear all about it in this captivating session.
