Burjeel launches Oracle Health EMR platform to transform MENA care

Launch of Burjeel's Oracle Health EMR platform

Super-specialty healthcare provider Burjeel Holdings has launched one of the MENA region’s largest Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platforms—the Oracle Health EMR. The system is designed to transform patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance operational efficiencies across Burjeel’s network.

The introduction of the platform represents the largest technological upgrade in Burjeel’s history, highlighting the Group’s commitment to integrating advanced digital solutions to build a connected and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem. The platform brings scalability, security, and real-time coordination capabilities to Burjeel’s clinical operations.

Built on Oracle’s robust cloud infrastructure, the platform supports interoperability across Burjeel’s clinical ecosystem, offering real-time coordination and information exchange among providers, patients, and facilities crucial for advanced care delivery models.

The platform simplifies access to comprehensive patient data, enabling caregivers to make informed, real-time decisions. It streamlines workflows, enhances patient safety with integrated alerts and protocols, and delivers actionable insights through data analytics. This helps improve clinical outcomes and offers more timely and accurate access to critical information, reducing patient waiting times, and increasing engagement with more face-to-face time with clinicians.

The rollout of the EMR system has begun at Burjeel’s facilities, including BMC, Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi, and Burjeel Day Surgery Center on Al Reem Island. These initial deployments will serve as a foundation for a phased rollout across the Group’s broader healthcare network.

Over 3,700 employees across Burjeel’s hospitals underwent intensive training and embraced the transition with the support of super-users, lead super-users, and over 60 Oracle experts.

Burjeel is one of the first regional healthcare providers to implement Oracle Health’s EMR solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the Oracle Cloud Dubai Region.
