New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: When Ms Manjares Melody Biag returned to work from maternity leave eight months ago, she opted for a work arrangement that was novel in healthcare: Flexi-shifts.
There are plans to eventually roll it out for all 4,000 nurses across the hospital, including in the intensive care ward. The initiative has saved principal nurses about 30 to 90 minutes daily, allowing them to have sufficient break times and focus better on their key tasks, said the hospital in a press release.
TTSH has also revised its shift handover process, allowing nurses to save two-and-a-half hours per shift thanks to digitisation.
