Rayan FaroukAs we discussed previously, Nabidh is Dubai’s newest HIE platform that securely unifies patient data, making data exchange between public and private healthcare networks easier.
For healthcare providers, there are quite a few benefits to using Nabidh such as:
- Full view of the patient’s health history
- Participate in Smart Dubai’s vision to become completely paperless
- Faster retrieval of data and increased productivity
- Best management of the patient’s health decisions
- Reduction of clinical costs and errors by removing the process of unnecessary repeated medical tests.
Let’s answer some questions about NABIDH:
1. How can a healthcare facility integrate with Nabidh?
There are a few steps to follow found on Nabidh’s Onboarding web page. After signing an onboarding agreement with the DHA, you will be able to login to your Nabidh portal to transfer the data and be officially connected to Nabidh.
Alternatively, the healthcare facility can integrate with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems that have integrated with Nabidh on their own. The EMR system can help the facility in the management of the data and the biggest benefit is that all the data will be sent to Nabidh’s portal automatically by the system. You can check the available EMRs on the same Onboarding web page.
Balsam Medico is proudly mentioned in the EMR list and the healthcare facility is always welcome to contact us!
2. How long does the integration take?
The time required for Nabidh integration can vary substantially from one healthcare facility to another, depending on the size of the facility, its current EMR systems, and many more.
3. Are all healthcare providers in Dubai subject to Nabidh policies and standards?
The NABIDH platform is required for all healthcare providers working within the DHA’s authority, and all of the NABIDH’s rules and regulations apply to them.
4. Is NABIDH integration mandatory?
Yes, it is mandatory and all healthcare facilities, and clinics have to be compliant with the NABIDH policies and standards.
5. What are the repercussions of neglecting NABIDH policies?
The repercussions can be anything, from reputation harm and lost commercial possibilities to steep financial fines and legal action that could result in the suspension or revocation of a medical license.
Our advice is to onboard onto NABIDH platform as soon as possible or before applying for a new or renewed license to avoid any fines or consequences.
We talked about how EMR systems can simplify your integration process and automate the data transfer into NABIDH platform. However, let’s take a moment to explore what exactly EMR systems are.
EMR systems, short for Electronic Medical Records systems, are robust digital tools that centralize and manage patient health information, medical histories, diagnoses, treatments, and more in a secure and accessible format. Opting for EMR systems enhances efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration among healthcare providers, leading to improved patient care, reduced administrative burdens, and ultimately better health outcomes.
As a healthcare facility, you’re probably wondering what you will benefit from having an EMR system. The main gains are:
1. Save physical space: No more worrying about filling your cabinets with papers and reports.
2. Optimize workflows: Keep track of patients and manage the scheduling.
3. Lower Operational Costs: Keep all your records in one place and reduce the cost.
4. Documentation: Reduce errors during documentation therefore improve care.
5. Reminders: Send reminders and alerts to all users at the same time.
And many more…
We’re just scratching the surface on EMRs here, but don’t worry – we’ve got a whole new blog in the works that will dive into more details.
