Enhanced Comprehensive Care Programme: a retrospective study of patient empanelment by generalist-led multidisciplinary teams to reduce acute care utilisation.

Introduction: Singapore faces an increasingly aged population with complex multimorbidity and psychosocial impairment. This change in demographic is challenging for existing healthcare systems. Breaks in care coordination and continuity result in poor health outcomes, increased acute care utilisation and higher healthcare costs.

Healthcare utilisation in the last year of life in internal medicine, young-old versus old-old.

Background: With increasing cost of healthcare in our aging society, a consistent pain point is that of end-of-life care. It is particularly difficult to prognosticate in non-cancer patients, leading to more healthcare utilisation without improving quality of life. Additionally, older adults do not age homogenously.
