Tai Po Hospital
TPH faced tremendous pressure from escalating demand
for rehabilitation and psychiatric service arisen from the
ageing population, increasing prevalence of chronic
diseases and rising public expectations. To cope with
the challenges, the Hospital has rolled out a number of
capacity enhancement measures and E-Health initiatives.
Weekend and Holiday Physiotherapy and
Occupational therapy for stroke patients
commenced in October 2018.
Adult psychiatric services were enhanced at
various fronts including increased frequency
of regular patrol in high-risk psychiatric
admission wards, recruiting an ex-psychiatric
patient as a peer support worker and
augmenting the medical manpower of the
multi-disciplinary team supporting patients
with common mental disorder in specialist
outpatient clinic.
In-Patient Medication Order Entry (IPMOE)
was launched in 2018/19.
