The selected intern will join us in the following projects:

 

1.SingCLOUD

 

Singapore Cardiovascular Longitudinal Outcomes Database. SingCLOUD is designed to assess the long-term clinical outcomes, quality of care, and medical costs for patients with suspected or confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) or congestive heart failure (CHF) in public hospitals. The system will utilize clinical data from the SCDB, along with administrative, pharmacy, and financial data from participating hospitals and the Ministry of Health (MOH), while ensuring data retrieval is limited to approved date ranges. Patient IDs will be anonymized to maintain privacy and facilitate the analysis of patient journeys, and the system will be adaptable to integrate new data sources and types, such as diabetes data from the Singapore Diabetes Registry.

 

 

2. Value-Driven Care Dashboards and Automation

 

The Value-Driven Care (VDC) Dashboards and Automation aim to enhance the quality of care in Singapore's healthcare system by ensuring it is value-conscious. They will track clinical quality indicators and associated costs for VDC conditions, identify improvement opportunities, and monitor the performance of public healthcare institutions (PHIs) over time. Additionally, the system will enable ""like-for-like"" comparisons among PHIs and allow for detailed analyses to assess potential areas for enhancement.

 

 

3. National Diabetes Database

 

The National Diabetes Database (NDD) was set up to support the War on Diabetes to provide data-driven capabilities to all stakeholders to support and monitor the health outcomes of diabetics cohort. NDD consolidates data from multiple repositories into a single database and provides a unified virtual view and centralised access point to national diabetes information from NEHR as well as several Clusters’ data warehouses.

 

The selected interns will participate but not limited to the following:

  • Utilize Informatica IDMC capabilities to establish connections with various internal and external data sources.
  • Configure data ingestion workflows to facilitate seamless data transfer into and within the cloud environment.
  • Ensure that data connections are optimized for performance and reliability.
  • Verify that all components are properly integrated and accessible.
  • Test data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes to ensure they function as expected.
  • Test the dashboards and reports to ensure they reflect the processed data accurately and are visually correct.
  • Test the interaction between components to ensure that data flows correctly from Informatica IDMC to Databricks and then to Tableau.
  • Prepare deployment plan, attend deployment approval walkthrough and support deployment process and ensuring that all components are functioning as expected.
  • After deployment, monitor the performance of the cloud environment and optimize processes as necessary. This may include tuning data flows and adjusting resource allocations.
  • Involve end-users to validate that the system meets their requirements and expectations.
  • Gather feedback and make necessary adjustments based on user input
