Digital patient records and tele-medicine are helping evolve Qatar's healthcare market, through cost-time optimisation and improved patient care, one of the region's leading ICT providers, Ooredoo, announced yesterday.
As Qatar's healthcare providers rapidly adopt a wide range of connected solutions, the country's healthcare market is set to grow by 50 percent, from $6bn in 2016 to $9bn by 2020, according to a report by investment bank Alpen Capital.
Supporting Qatar's national goals of delivering a world-class healthcare system, in line with the National Health Strategy 2017-2022, and Qatar National Vision 2030, Ooredoo is seeing strong demand for the latest connected healthcare solutions that run on cloud technology.
“Bringing together medical professionals, insurance providers, and patients on one real-time cloud platform is optimising costs and delivering better patient care across Qatar. Ooredoo is delivering the smart healthcare solutions that support Qatar as a global healthcare innovator, grow the country's diversified economy and job creation, and enhance daily lives,” said Yousuf Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar.
Qatar's medical providers are already benefitting from Ooredoo healthcare solutions such as the CloudClinik, a cloud-based electronic medical record and practice management system. CloudClinik allows for digital patient records, staff scheduling, patient booking, and prescriptions. Scalable cloud solutions will support the next generation of Qatar's healthcare innovations, added Al Kubaisi.
