The Community Care Digital Transformation Plan (CCDTP) is an initiative that seeks to uplift and accelerate digitalisation efforts in the Community Care sector. It aims to provide better care and support for clients and their caregivers in the community, increase productivity and job satisfaction by leveraging technology within Community Care organisations (CCOs), and deliver timely, affordable and quality care for Singaporeans via a digitally-driven sector.

Background

The CCDTP is developed by the Community Care Technology Council*, supported by the Agency for Integrated Care and Ministry of Health, in partnership with other stakeholders such as National Council of Social Service.

The CCDTP provides a structured and targeted approach to support CCOs in their digitalisation journey, focusing on the following strategies:

  • Digitalisation journey map
  • Business process re-engineering
  • Technology adoption
  • Data-driven and capability uplift

A three-level Sector Digitalisation Roadmap will guide CCOs’ decision making in adopting proven technology, building digital capabilities and leveraging resources to enhance their organisational effectiveness and delivery of services.
