Malaffi, the region’s first Health Information Exchange (HIE) platform, created as part of an initiative from the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH) and Injazat Data Systems, has announced that Danat Al Emarat Hospital and Clinic, HealthPlus Network of Specialty Centers and Oasis Hospital, are the first three healthcare providers whose entire care teams now have access to Malaffi, and are fully utilising the system including all hospitals and clinics across SEHA and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This comes just ten months after Malaffi’s launch earlier this year. With Malaffi being directly and seamlessly integrated into the providers’ EMR system, over 1,000 doctors and members of care teams can now source and access their patients Malaffi files, from the centralised database of unified patient records.
H.E Mohammed Hamad Al Hameli, Undersecretary of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, said: “Today signals a significant step forward in our plans to further elevate our progressive healthcare system in Abu Dhabi. We fully back the success of Malaffi and encourage all providers to align with the Malaffi schedule, as this will also be part of our facility licensing requirements. Universal Emirate-wide implementation of Malaffi will enable better patient outcomes that result from a more well-connected and well-informed healthcare system. Collectively we are working towards achieving truly world-class care across Abu Dhabi and championing a healthy nation.”
