Five essential measures that Healthcare Providers should adopt to comply with the Health Information Bill (HIB)

The Health Information Bill (HIB) aims to govern the safe collection, access, use, and sharing of health information across the healthcare ecosystem in Singapore. The HIB is expected to establish a framework to facilitate better continuity and seamless transition of care by making it mandatory for all licensed healthcare providers to contribute data to the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR).
