SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH) will set aside up to S$45 million (US$35.6 million) over the next four years to help healthcare providers bear the costs of contributing to the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR).
From early next year, all licensed healthcare providers will be required to share patients’ health information with the central repository. They must also implement safeguards to protect that data, and promptly notify MOH of any confirmed cybersecurity incidents or breaches.
CNA previously reported concerns from doctors, particularly those running smaller clinics, about the costs of compliance.
