healthcare workforce.
American Hospital Dubai, part of
Mohamed and Obaid Al Mulla
Group, has selected Oracle Cloud
Applications and Cerner, a Gold Level
member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN),
for major Digital Transformation.
The initiative is aimed at reducing cost,
optimising physician performance, driving
better inventory management, avoiding
losses to over or understocking, and hiring
and retaining the best talent.
As per the agreement, Cerner will deliver
a new health IT platform – an electronic
health record (EHR) to improve the safety,
quality and healthcare experience for
patients and caregivers. In addition, Oracle
will provide the digital business platform
and Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) Cloud to enhance productivity, reduce
costs and improve controls. Both solutions
will integrate hospital business and clinical
operations to improve efficiency and
business decision-making based on realtime
data.
The new EHR and ERP platforms will
provide American Hospital Dubai with
the ability to truly automate its end-toend
clinical and business processes. The
implementation of these industry-leading
solutions will enable the hospital to deliver
a seamless patient journey, drive efficiency
and provide high quality, affordable care.
In addition, the wealth of data collected
will be used to report and improve patient
outcomes, which ultimately will help
optimise clinical and business performance
across the entire organisation.
Sherif Beshara, Chief Executive Officer
of Mohamed and Obaid Al Mulla Group,
said: “Medical well-being is integral for the
progress of our nation and its people, and we
are consistently seeking intelligent methods
to improve quality of care and to enhance
the patients’ experience. Our partnership
with Cerner and Oracle significantly improves
our clinical and non-clinical services and
further positions American Hospital as a
beacon of medical service excellence and
expertise in the region and beyond.”
American Hospital Dubai will also implement
Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM)
Cloud to further equip its 1,200 employees
with the tools they need for the digital
healthcare era. This initiative will help
American Hospital retain and hire the best
talent, initiate training programmes and
ensure enhanced employee satisfaction.
“The Oracle Cloud Applications
implementation is aimed at automating
American Hospital’s core processes to
provide a single source of truth with better
budgeting and planning tools for the
hospital’s leadership – as well as increasing
employee satisfaction and reducing
turnover,” said Rahul Misra, Vice President
– Business Applications, Lower Gulf, Oracle.
“American Hospital is a true pioneer and with
this transformation, the healthcare provider
is preparing for its next growth phase and
continued delivery of excellent patient care.”
Alaa Adel, Managing Director, Cerner Middle
East and Africa, said: “We are excited to work
collaboratively with American Hospital to
roll out a network wide EHR that will create
a patient-centric health care delivery system
and engage individuals in a culture of
proactive health management.
“During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the role of technology becomes even
more prominent. With Cerner’s innovative
solutions, American Hospital will not only
further enhance its response to the global
crisis, but more importantly be well-equipped
with cutting-edge technologies to thrive in
the new era of post-pandemic healthcare.” •
