Most Abu Dhabi hospitals Now Digitally Connected

More than 60 percent connected one year from the launch of HIE platform


The majority of Abu Dhabi’s hospitals are now digitally connected, just over a year from the implementation of the UAE’s first Health Information Exchange (HIE) platform, according to an article on the Healthcare IT News website.

The HIE reportedly currently connects 35 healthcare groups, as well as 40 hospitals and 403 clinics. 

An estimated 25,923 doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals now have access, enabling them to “make better-informed decisions by safely and securely accessing vital medical information,” according to the health department.
