Singapore’s health institutions will soon be required to contribute data to the country’s National Electronic Health Records (NEHR) as a vehicle to improve patient care. NEHR is a shared network between providers that aggregates and combines patient records.

In addition, many general practitioners (GPs) have not gone digital, leading to less than 70 out of 1,6000 GPs who are able to contribute data.
