BANGALORE,INDIA: IT service provider Perot Systems Corporation today announced that it has completed the successful rollout of a Hospital Information System (HIS) in multiple hospitals and Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in Abu Dhabi.

Perot and the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi partnered in April 2007 to prepare an assessment of the project to ensure that it would be implemented successfully and ultimately deliver the desired benefits.

A press release said that the major goal of the program was to create a system that would provide a comprehensive Electronic Medial Record (EMR) and maximize administrative efficiency.

The system now provides a comprehensive EMR, supports best practice processes in all hospitals, and enables clinical, operational and financial metric reporting.

The EMR would provide a centralized platform for the management of patient information, enabling all clinicians in the organization to view a single medical record and in the process improve safety as well the efficiency of the entire clinical process, said a press release.

Perot Systems completed the review in June 2007 and was asked to manage the roll out of the HIS across three public hospitals and associated PHCs.

"The healthcare market in the Gulf region is growing rapidly, and to accommodate this growth and deliver healthcare of a high standard, SEHA, recognizes the need to embrace technology," said John Hawkins, Information Systems and Technology, director for SEHA, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company.

"One of Perot Systems' goals is to bring our global healthcare domain expertise as an unparalleled resource for the Middle East," said Dr. Kevin Fickenscher, Executive Vice President, Perot Systems' international healthcare group.

"We expect that this HIS implementation in Abu Dhabi and our ongoing work with SEHA will not only bring great dividends for healthcare consumers in this region, but also enhance quality and reduce costs for healthcare delivery as we work in concert with Abu Dhabi and other countries in the region," he added.
