Comprehensive Diabetes Management : Integrated Care Approaches in Singapore's Healthcare System
Keywords:
diabetes mellitus, continuous care, health care system, SingaporeAbstract
Singapore's comprehensive diabetes management model represents an exemplary framework for integrating public health policy, digital technology, and continuous care through comprehensive healthcare system reform. This documentary research synthesized data from 33 research papers and academic reports published between 2015-2023, covering diabetes management programs, healthcare system structure, community-based care, digital health technologies, and health outcomes in Singapore. The findings demonstrate that Singapore has developed an integrated diabetes management system that combines primary care, specialized care, and community engagement through the declaration of the "War on Diabetes" in 2016 and the development of diverse integrated care models. Despite achieving success in improving glycemic control and holistic management approaches, challenges remain in long-term care coordination, blood pressure control, and the sustainability of various programs. Comparative analysis with other countries reveals that Singapore possesses a robust healthcare system structure but requires improvements in care coordination and service integration.
