Symposium 3
Bridging Evidence and Practice in Heart Failure Care: Real-World Gaps, and Pathways to High-Value Care in Singapore
17 April 2026, 1330 - 1500, NAK Auditorium

Presenting Title:

Future Directions for Heart Failure Management in an Ageing Population – Developing a Programme to Keep Patients out of Hospital
Heart failure care in ageing Singapore must pivot from hospital-centric management to integrated community programmes that prevent avoidable admissions. Scalable home-based heart failure models, led by trained community nurses, offer opportunities for medication optimisation, self-management support, and early detection of deterioration. In parallel, upskilling nursing home staff in heart failure monitoring and escalation protocols could strengthen continuity of care, reduce readmissions, and better align service delivery with population ageing and system capacity constraints
