Abstract
The current system of using hospitals is not sustainable. The shift upstream to prevention and slowing the progression of illness as well as downstream shift to better maintain the growing frail elderly will be important. Developing services for the elderly in the community will require seamless coordination at ground levels. Together with this will be the enablers to aid in the healthcare transformation.
Our goal is good and affordable care at a level that is sustainable for the long term.
