Cerner to automate healthcare processes in United Arab Emirates

Patients and clinicians at Ministry of Health hospitals and clinics in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Northern Emirates are implementing healthcare IT Millenium Suite systems from Cerner.

Twelve hospitals and 60 clinics will implement a suite of Cerner Millennium solutions to automate paper-based processes. iCapital, a UAE-based company and consortium lead, will serve as the prime contractor for the implementations.

The Cerner Millennium solutions implemented throughout the Northern Emirates healthcare delivery facilities will automate processes in the scheduling, admissions, emergency, laboratory, pharmacy, radiology, surgery, medical records and clinical supplies departments, the Kansas City, Mo.-based Cerner said. Nurses and physicians also will use Cerner Millennium solutions to manage and document patient care through online order entry and results notification and viewing.
