Initiatives and Innovations in Critical Care

The Initiatives and Innovation in Critical Care in JurongHealth Campus programme aims to introduce new approaches that improve care of Combined Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients by leveraging technology and artificial intelligence. The goal of the programme is to improve the holistic care of ICU patients, to help them regain the level of health they had prior to hospitalisation and to offer terminally ill patients dignity in death. 

The “IAmGoingHome” programme facilitates compassionate discharge for terminally ill ICU patients to spend their final moments at home according to their wish or that of their loved ones. Ng Teng Fong General Hospital is the first to offer this structured initiative for the terminally ill.
