What is the purpose of introducing and regulating the different modes of service delivery (MOSDs)?

To better cater for emerging models of care that are no longer premises-based, such as home care and teleconsultation, MOH has introduced four MOSDs for the LHSes.

MOH has stipulated the allowable MOSD for each HCSA licence category with conditions of approval and regulatory requirements for each mode. Licensees must seek approval from MOH before commencing services in any MOSD within each LHS category, and regulatory actions will be taken against licensees that provide LHS outside of the modes they were approved for. This is to ensure patient care is safely delivered through each MOSD
