“I am currently involved in the e-Portering project which is a process improvement project to increase productivity. Instead of manually recording the time and task such as the dispatch of specimens or the transfer of patients on beds within the hospital, everything is done online via the system. Staff will have to log in to the e-Portering system to raise their requests which will be sent to the mobile phones of the Patient Transport Assistants who will then respond and complete the tasks. This project speaks volumes of how the healthcare system is evolving from manual pen and paper to being paperless and environmentally friendly. It also helps me to be more efficient in my daily work.”
