Burjeel Holdings, one of the leading healthcare services providers in the region, has entered into a strategic agreement worth AED125 million ($34 million) with Oracle Health.
The agreement will see Burjeel becoming the first regional healthcare provider to adopt and implement a new Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system on Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure. This is expected to deliver improved clinical outcomes, in addition to boosting operational and financial efficiencies.
Oracle Health to power Burjeel’s new EMR platform
Oracle Health is a global provider of integrated suites of applications and secure, autonomous infrastructure in the Oracle Cloud.
As part of the agreement, Oracle Health will establish the omnichannel and integrated EMR platform, enabling the integration of Burjeel’s clinical ecosystem across its network of healthcare assets through the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Dr Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman, Burjeel Holdings, said: “Collaborating with Oracle Health and bringing this new technology to our operations will offer caregivers a simplified yet comprehensive view of patient data to better inform care decisions and improve health outcomes.
“The patient experience across our healthcare ecosystem will be streamlined, with less waiting time and more patient face-time with clinicians. And we will also be positioned to make strides in helping improve patient safety by ensuring the right information is available for our patients at the right time.”
Burjeel will be able to leverage the performance, scalability and security benefits of the cloud. It will also support future care delivery approaches that require real-time care coordination and information exchange among multiple providers, patients, and locations.
Akram Sami Dhaini, vice president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Oracle Health, added: “We’re working globally to help hospitals and health systems adopt technology that is digitised, open, and connected to help them solve some of their most complex challenges.
“With the collaboration with Burjeel Holdings, we continue our strong momentum in the region.”
Burjeel Holdings’ updated EMR system and integrated platform will be implemented across the group through a structured three-year rollout programme. The system will be launched across Burjeel Medical City, Burjeel Abu Dhabi, and Burjeel Day Care Surgery Center during the pilot phase.
Burjeel Holdings, founded in 2007 and recently listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, has a network of 64 assets, including 16 hospitals and 26 medical centers, as well as pharmacies and other allied services. Its brands include Burjeel Hospitals, Medeor Hospitals, LLH Hospitals, Lifecare Hospitals, and Tajmeel, and a total 1,660 patient beds across operations in the UAE and Oman.
