About GPConnect

GPConnect is a Tier-1 Healthier SG compatible clinic management system (CMS) specifically designed to meet the needs of general practitioners (GPs) in Singapore. With its comprehensive range of features and user-friendly interface, GPConnect serves as a vital tool for GPs and their clinic assistants, streamlining daily clinic operations from patient registration and consultations to medicine dispensation and billing in tandem with MOH policy changes.

Opportunity
Clinicians use multiple systems to assist them in daily operations. For example, clinic staff have to submit claims and update patients’ records manually. On top of being labour-intensive, clinicians may also miss out on updating their patients’ records.  

With the lack of information flow points to GPConnect, there is a need to help GPs be more efficient in their daily work, so that they can spend more time addressing patients’ needs. 
Solution
GPConnect supports GPs and clinic staff in the clinic’s operations – from patient registration, consultation, medicine dispensing, billing, claims submissions and data contribution to key national healthcare systems such as the NEHR. It also helps GPs store their patients’ medical records electronically, enabling easier retrieval and analysis while freeing up physical storage space previously used for paper records. 
Impact
Apart from helping GPs to be more efficient in their daily work, GPConnect provides clinical decision support, such as customisable alerts for allergy and drug interactions. Electronic prescription of medication also helps to improve dispensation accuracy. GPConnect seamlessly transmits relevant patient data to the NEHR, helping patients to build a longitudinal medical history for their continuity of care across different healthcare settings. 
Future Outlook
HealthierSG
GPConnect is committed to being an HSG-compatible CMS system. Looking ahead, respective functions will be added to assist clinics with HSG requirements (e.g. enrolment, health plans).

More lab Integration
We are working to have more labs integrated with GPConnect. Existing labs available in GPConnect includes Innoquest, Eurofins and Reste.

Testimonials

DR THERESA YAP, YANG & YAP CLINIC AND SURGERY

“I onboarded GPConnect when digitising my clinic in 2019. Over this time, two of our clinic doctors and I have found this system to be very useful in our daily practice. It has also increased our productivity and efficiency. GPConnect also has excellent support staff who provided me with peace of mind. This has been proven true, in the rare occasion when any troubleshooting or IT assistance is required. I sincerely find that this system has met my clinical needs well.”

DR LAWRENCE WONG, WONG CLINIC

“With GPConnect, I find that productivity has increased, and less time is needed to access or file records. I’m very happy that I chose to digitise with GPConnect. My staff, too, are able to do their work more efficiently. In fact, even if I had wanted to go back to paper records now, I don’t think they would allow me to.”

DR KOH THUAN WEE, FRONTIER FAMILY MEDICINE CLINIC (CLEMENTI)

“We have adopted various CMS systems over the years. What we like about our current CMS and GPConnect, is the direct NEHR access to patient information via context switch. The auto flow of CDMP care components to MOH also saves time and effort in complying with CDMP requirements.”
