Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, has announced an agreement with Al Hammadi Company for Development and Investment (Al Hammadi) to implement Elsevier's Order Sets and Care Planning solutions in Al Hammadi hospitals across Saudi Arabia.
Al Hammadi currently oversees three large hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Al Hammadi Hospital Al Olaya (300 beds), Al Hammadi Hospital Al Suwaidi (428 beds), and Al Hammadi Hospital Al Nuzha (600 beds).
Implementation of Order Sets and Care Planning solutions marks an important step of digital transformation for the hospital. The Saudi Arabian government is encouraging hospitals to harness technology optimising patient care by putting hospitals with HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6 accreditations or above in higher reimbursement plans. The first step in the agreement with Elsevier will be to complete the implementation phase by the end of 2018.
Al Hammadi will join a growing number of hospitals in the region to implement Elsevier's Clinical Decision Support Solutions. Last year, following the implementation of Order Sets and Care Planning solutions, the Al Habib Medical Group achieved HIMSS EMRAM stage 6 .
Elsevier's Clinical Decision Support Solutions focus on driving operational efficiencies through improving communication and increasing access to evidence-based guidelines. Orders Sets quickly translate knowledge into actionable orders, while Care Planning allows the integration of evidence-based, patient-centered care planning directly into the hospitals' EHR.
