Case Study: Mount Alvernia Hospital achieves safer care and greater efficiency with Altera Digital Health

Achieving better clinical outcomes and operational efficiency

Mount Alvernia Hospital, a private acute care hospital in Singapore, faced challenges with laborious manual processes and paper medical records that hindered clinical governance and nursing productivity. To address this, the hospital partnered with Altera Digital Health to implement its Sunrise electronic medical record (EMR) system, aiming to achieve better patient safety and operational efficiency.

The solution from Altera Digital Health included multiple Sunrise modules, such as Knowledge-Based Medication Administration (KBMA) and Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). This implementation provided a single electronic platform that centralized information, eliminated transcription errors, and enabled features like bedside barcode scanning. As a result, Mount Alvernia Hospital saw a measured increase in both patient safety and nursing productivity, achieving its core goals of coordinated and safer care.
