ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022434 | Abstract: | Increasing workload and case complexity of a multimorbid ageing population have catalysed primary care transformation for general practitioners to meet these challenges. There is also a need to re-examine the role of hospital specialists as overly disease-centric, hospital-based specialist care is no longer sustainable. A new specialist-generalist model can maximise the potential of generalists and specialists to provide person-centred care, increase cost-effectiveness, improve appropriateness of referrals, decrease length of hospital stay and lower mortality. | Source Title: | ANNALS ACADEMY OF MEDICINE SINGAPORE | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/245566 | ISSN: | 0304-4602 | DOI: | 10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022434 |
