Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.
Unlocking Public Value
A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.
Governments and Socialising

Singapore hospitals to replace legacy archiving systems
Singapore’s largest healthcare group has entered into a 10-year partnership with Microsoft to establish an integrated radiology management system. The long term goal is to develop an enterprise-wide clinical imaging solution.
The deal will see SingHealth replace its existing Radiology Information System (RIS) and Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS). The two systems meant that patients’ images and results had to be manually matched.
This slowed down the radiology workflow. There is an average of 550 errors for every million records, Dr Chong Yoke Sin, Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Health Systems told FutureGov.
The new radiology management solution will synchronise clinical results with digitised images, and provide information in real-time. As a result, there is better patient safety with reduced risk of error and a faster turnaround time for results.
SingHealth group consists of three hospitals, five national specialty centres, and a network of nine polyclinics. The new system will be first implemented this year at the Singapore General Hospital, followed by a roll-out for the other SingHealth institutions that is expected to be completed by 2011.
“With ready sharing of image studies, our patients can move seamlessly across the care continuum. This brings Singhealth one step closer to supporting the Ministry of Health’s vision of a national Electronic Health Record system for every Singaporean,” said Dr Wong Yue Sie, Chief Operating Officer of the SingHealth group.
