Ng Teng Fong Healthcare Innovation Programme
About the Ng Teng Fong Healthcare Innovation Programme
The Ng Teng Fong Healthcare Innovation Programme (NTF HIP) was set up with a generous gift from the family of the late Mr Ng Teng Fong to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and aims to drive innovation in healthcare to benefit and enhance the health of our patients and the population we serve.
NTF HIP serves as a financial lever of innovation, and help funds the innovation work and programmes facilitated by CHI. It supports proposals relating to:
- Care Redesign (clinical / operational processes and models)
- Use of Automation / IT / Robotics / Products / Devices
- Job Redesign
NTF HIP provides funding through five tracks which support the strategic thrusts of CHI.
| Strategic Training | Innovation | Community Enabling | Strategic Innovation | Strategic Research |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supports training of workforce with relevant skills to become institutional / system thought leaders in innovation or ground champions to drive innovation | Supports projects in job and care redesign, automation or clinical research projects, that are geared towards improving productivity, or transforming roles to effect new care processes / models. | Supports projects that impact and enable the community, including training of patients, volunteers, members of community partner institutions. | Supports programmes targeted at system level innovation, to drive value through healthcare innovation. | Supports thematic programmes that drive value through translational research. |
Through these, the programme looks towards improving productivity, delivering value and meeting the needs of the future healthcare system.
NTFHIP is managed and administered by the Grants & Innovation Office .
All TTSH staff may apply to NTF HIP. Funding will also be applicable to non-staff (e.g. research collaborator, community partners, patients, caregivers, volunteers, students) if the fund recipient is part of a larger umbrella TTSH programme where a TTSH staff is the Project Owner / Principal Investigator.
