Etisalat Digital, the business unit of Etisalat driving digital transformation, has announced the launch of its Cloud Electronic Medical Record, a solution for healthcare establishments to share data in real-time throughout the UAE as it moves towards a healthcare system ensuring a longer, happier and healthier life for all citizens.

 

The Cloud-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platform addresses some of the pertinent challenges that private independent healthcare practices may face in adopting an electronic patient record system. 

 

Etisalat’s turnkey, fully managed, resilient and secure SD-WAN solution connects all the authorised clinics/pharmacies to a secure and central database, a statement from the telecom firm said.

 

Etisalat Group Chief Business Officer Salvador Anglada said: “Our ambition in healthcare has always been to enable digital transformation by introducing the right technologies that create sustainable operating models and help us move towards a value-based health system. 

 

"This new healthcare solution will leverage on its strength in advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, 5G and Internet of Things supporting the digital transformation of the health sector as well as key national health initiatives," Anglada added.

 

The Cloud EMR platform and associated services make it seamless for private practices to subscribe and start using the platform. In addition to keeping electronic records, the platform provides a host of digital tools that bring efficiencies to day-to-day operations and aid in practice management.

 

Leveraging on cloud computing, the EMR platform is designed to scale quickly and serve hundreds of private practices in the near future.-TradeArabia News Service
