At Tan Tock Seng Hospital, nurses used to have to manually check patients at regular intervals for falls. This put quite a physical and administrative strain on the nurses, particularly senior staff. But the hospital introduced a monitoring system that uses thermal imaging and smart analytics to predict patient falls – freeing up senior enrolled nurses in their late 60s to focus on clinical judgment and patient care.

This is an example of effective job redesign that allows experienced workers to continue to thrive in tasks they are best placed to contribute.
