In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), health services have developed greatly in the past 40 years. To ensure they continue to meet the needs of the population, innovation and change are required including investment in a strong e-Health infrastructure with a single transferrable electronic patient record. In this paper, using the Emirate of Dubai as a case study, we report on the Middle East Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM). Between 2011-2016, the number of participating hospitals has increased from 23 to 33. Currently, while 20/33 of hospitals are at Stage 2 or less, 10/33 have reached Stage 5. Also Dubai's median EMRAM score in 2016 (2.5) was higher than the scores reported from Australia (2.2), New Zealand (2.3), Malaysia (0.06), the Philippines (0.06) and Thailand (0.5). EMRAM has allowed the tracking of the progress being made by healthcare facilities in Dubai towards upgrading their information technology infrastructure and the introduction of electronic medical records.
在阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋),过去40年医疗卫生服务取得了长足发展。为确保这些服务持续满足民众需求,需要进行创新和变革,包括投资建设强大的电子健康基础设施,并配备单一可转移的电子病历。在本文中,我们以迪拜酋长国为例,报告中东电子病历采用模型(EMRAM)。2011年至2016年间,参与的医院数量从23家增加到33家。目前,33家医院中有20家处于2级及以下水平,10家达到了5级。此外,2016年迪拜的EMRAM中位数得分(2.5)高于澳大利亚(2.2)、新西兰(2.3)、马来西亚(0.06)、菲律宾(0.06)和泰国(0.5)报告的得分。EMRAM有助于追踪迪拜医疗机构在升级其信息技术基础设施和引入电子病历方面所取得的进展。
