The new HIS will also help reduce the need for additional testing once a patient at the hospital is referred to another Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) facility in the emirate.
Al Ain Hospital adopted the Cerner Millennium healthcare information computing platform launched last year by SEHA as part of the company’s system-wide HIS upgrade. Once the system was deployed across all SEHA hospitals and clinics in the emirate, it will have the only fully electronic healthcare system in the region.
“The system is created and designed to help health organisations improve financial and clinical outcomes by eliminating error, variance and waste from the care process. Soon, all our SEHA facilities will be linked by this system. It (will) help us achieve the goal of ‘One Patient, One Record’ with added convenience and safety for our patients,” said Carl Stanifer, CEO of SEHA.
“These technology solutions allow clinicians to run tests, make diagnoses, place orders, fill medications, document care and remit bills using a single information system. By accelerating the flow of information and enhancing the communication stream, the Cerner Millennium solutions will help make the healthcare process safer and more efficient for our patients here at Al Ain Hospital and for the population of the emirate of Abu Dhabi who uses SEHA’s network of facilities,” added George Jepson, CEO of Al Ain Hospital.
Noting the importance of having immediate access to a patient’s history, especially in emergency cases, Robert Pickton, SEHA chief information officer, said, “By implementing this system, SEHA hospitals and healthcare providers will have access to the same patient data. This gives all the providers the information they need to treat the patients and it will eliminate the duplication of tests as well as chances of giving inappropriate medication.”
The implementation of the new HIS will be done in phases. The first phase was successfully launched on November 5 last year involving the outpatient clinics, emergency room and all hospital departments. The second phase will include additional clinical functions, covering pharmacy and clinical notes.
To update its database using the new system, Al Ain Hospital requires all patients to bring all pertinent identification such as health cards, Daman cards, ID cards or passports on their next visit.
