NUS CRiHSP

Welcome to Centre for Research
in Health Systems Performance
(CRiHSP)
CRiHSP aims to be a world leading centre of excellence in research,
innovation, dissemination and education on the optimisation of health
systems performance for population health.
NUS-CRiHSP Partners with World
Economic Forum to Advance
Global Health Equity
The National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine
has joined forces with the World Economic Forum (WEF) in a groundbreaking
collaboration, marking Singapore as the inaugural Healthcare Country
Lighthouse within the WEF Centre for Health and Healthcare.
CRiHSP Policy Dialogue –
Implementing Patient Reported
Outcome Measures to Improve Health
System Performance in Singapore
Patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) are standardised questionnaires
used to capture patients’ own assessment of how their condition and treatment
have affected their health and wellbeing.

This Policy Dialogue will launch the latest CRIHSP Policy Briefing on PROMs and
review its key messages in how a structured and targeted approach can deliver
meaningful results. It will then discuss key issues in how PROMs can be best
implemented to advance value-based healthcare in Singapore with an expert panel
of speakers.

NUS CRiHSP in the Development of
OECD's PaRIS Conceptual Framework
Patient-Reported Experiences and Outcomes Measures (PREMs and PROMs)
are crucial to advancing Value-Based Health Care. As part of the OECD's landmark
Patient Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS) initiative, a comprehensive framework
has been developed to guide the creation of indicators and surveys for chronic
patients in primary care settings.
CRiHSP Policy Brief #1 |
Social Prescribing
Social prescribing has grown in policy and practice globally. CRiHSP's inaugural
policy brief goes through how social prescribing has been implemented globally,
as well as the evidence for social prescribing's impact.

The policy brief points out considerations for policymakers to address when
implementing social prescribing, and highlights the need for ongoing dialogue
to promote knowledge and sharing of best practices.

NUS CRiHSP signs MOU with
CUHK CHSPR
The NUS Centre for Research in Health Systems Performance (CRiHSP)
at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and the Centre for Health Systems
and Policy Research (CHSPR) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have
officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 8th July 2025 to
strengthen the two centres' partnership in advancing research in health systems.

Research

CRiHSP’s research is centered around 3 core domains of health system performance:

1.  Increasing accountability and feed-back on value centred performance according to the quadruple aim (population health, user experience, cost-minimisation and provider well-being) through the routine use of patient and provider reported information;
2. Optimising core health system functions of continuity and coordination for maximising integration and minimising duplication and waste; and
3. International comparative health systems performance assessment for identification and dissemination of best practices.

Health Policy Analysis

We focus on supporting evidence-based health systems decision making through rigorous analysis of the dynamic of health care systems worldwide, with a particular focus in the ASEAN region. Evidence is synthesized and disseminated through case studies, policy briefs, and other reports, as well as through publication in scientific journals.

Evaluation

Evaluation of models of care that optimise continuity and co-ordination, particularly as facilitated by innovative IT developments, including: i) modality characterisation at the individual, team and clinic level ii) evaluation of the impact on processes and outcomes of care.

CRiHSP evaluation fellows will lead a relevant evaluation project over 18 months. They will develop their abilities and skills through a training and development programme in a supported environment maximising the benefits of self-directed and peer-learning and will also learn on the job how to further train others in their immediate usual environment.

Capacity Building

Lectures, seminars, and webinars delivered by centre staff and invited presenters of international presenters of international reputation, short courses and formal training opportunities, eventually consolidating in a MSc in Health Systems Research.
