Addressing Hong Kong’s Healthcare Challenges with Digital Innovation
Hong Kong is facing one of the fastest aging populations in the world, with a forecasted 31% of the population expected to be aged 65 or older by 2039.
Coupled with only 9.1 nurses per 1,000 residents—significantly lower than in many other developed nations—this shortage has placed enormous pressure on healthcare services.
To address this, QHMS, a leading healthcare provider in Hong Kong, introduced the QHNA Mobile App, designed to streamline the job search and scheduling process for self-employed healthcare providers.
Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS, emphasizes the app’s role in addressing critical staffing needs, stating, “The QHNA Mobile App empowers nurses and carers to access a wide range of job opportunities while enhancing healthcare delivery in the community. It’s a significant milestone in our digital transformation journey.”
Key Features of the QHNA Mobile App
Since its founding in 1975, QHNA has grown to a network of over 14,000 skilled self-employed nurses and carers. The QHNA Mobile App further enhances this network by offering:
On-Demand Job Listings: Self-employed nurses and carers can instantly access and manage job opportunities.
Flexible Scheduling & Pay Tracking: Users can manage shifts, view pay rates, and track work progress, improving efficiency and financial transparency.
GPS-Enabled Check-Ins: GPS support allows easy attendance tracking.
Incentives and Rewards: Registered providers can unlock rewards through referrals or by completing specific shift targets.
These features provide convenience and security to healthcare workers, allowing them to schedule work based on their preferences and track earnings easily.
Joining the QHNA Mobile App Platform
To join the platform, self-employed nurses and carers must submit their professional qualifications and complete a virtual interview with QHMS to meet the company’s standards for clinical governance.
This vetting process ensures high-quality care for patients, maintaining QHMS’s commitment to excellence.
Paving the Way for a Sustainable Future in Healthcare
The QHNA Mobile App replaces paper-based job management with a fully digital system, contributing to eco-friendly practices.
It also reflects QHMS’s dedication to long-term health improvements for Hong Kong’s residents by offering timely and flexible staffing solutions across hospitals, NGOs, elderly homes, and private residences.
