Research

Value-Based Healthcare

Under the domain of Value-Based Healthcare, CRiHSP’s research aims to increase 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. CRiHSP is working to transform healthcare delivery to be more responsive, efficient, and aligned with patient needs.

Developing a system for the use of natural language for the robust measurement of health-related quality of life, self-reported health and related patient reported outcome measures

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential tools for capturing patients’ perceptions of their health status. However, these questionnaires can be lengthy and cumbersome, as multiple assessments are required to evaluate various domains of a patient’s well-being.

The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model that uses free-text data to predict scores across multiple existing validated questionnaires. A representative sample of the Singapore population will be recruited, and free-text responses will be analyzed using machine learning techniques and mapped to their corresponding questionnaire scores.
