Canadian Specialist Hospital (CSH) has urged the healthcare sector in the country to go paperless. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) enables hospitals and clinicians to maintain and track data over digital devices to identify and monitor patients for preventive visits, screening and timely intervention.
CSH has won the topmost rating from Dubai Health Authority (DHA) for progress made in electronic documentation in line with international best practices in integrating information technology for improved patient care.
His Excellency Humaid Al Qatami, Chairman of the Board and Director-General of the Dubai Health Authority presented the award to Canadian Specialist Hospital for getting the highest score. “We were committed from day one to go completely digital and we hope the industry also works in this direction. This will help us all to further propel the country’s healthcare sector,” commented Mr. Hussein Anani, COO, Canadian Specialist Hospital.
“Our efforts to implement EMR stems from our commitment to reducing medical errors and providing reliable and efficient patient care in which Canadian Specialist Hospital remains at the forefront,” said Mr. Ali Ghunaim Director of I.T. department.
