New Zealand’s Orion Health will set up the first Health Information Exchange (HIE) platform in the Middle East. The project, carried out with Abu Dhabi Health Data Services, will centrally store and enable the exchange of patient health information between healthcare professionals. It will ultimately connect 2,000 public and private healthcare providers in Abu Dhabi.Dubbed “Malaffi”, the platform will provide physicians with a tool to make well informed, fast decisions, enhance patient safety, reduce the duplication of diagnostic procedures and ultimately improve the quality of care and outcomes.
“The Department of Health-Abu Dhabi has recognised the need to centrally and efficiently, store, exchange, and analyse the enormous amount of data that is being created in healthcare every day, and by using advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, to drive the digital transformation of the healthcare system, for a happier and healthier Abu Dhabi,” said Atif Al Braiki, chief executive officer of Abu Dhabi Health Data Services.
Abu Dhabi Health Data Services is a new project company established as part of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and Injazat Data Systems, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi government-owned Mubadala Investment Company.
