New Clinical Information System from Sunday

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.
