Hamad Medical Corporation’s Home Health Care Service (HHCS) will implement the new Clinical Information System from Sunday.
The HHCS will replace their existing paper patient clinical records system with a new electronic Clinical Information System (CIS).
This is part of a planned roll-out across HMC and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC). Once the CIS implementation is complete, all patient records will be stored and accessed electronically across the two organisations.
The roll-out follows the successful CIS implementation in eight HMC hospitals, Paediatric Emergency Centres, Dialysis Centres, Bone and Joint Centre and a number of PHCC Health Centres across the country.
The CIS is a comprehensive system-wide implementation that has been designed in collaboration with clinicians.
As this is such a large project, there will be a period of transition, during which, staff and patients will adjust to the new system.
