Abu Dhabi(News Desk):: Burjeel Holdings, a leading super-specialty healthcare provider in the MENA region, has launched one of the region’s largest Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platforms. The Oracle Health EMR platform is designed to transform patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance operational efficiencies throughout Burjeel’s network. This move is a significant step towards enhancing AI adoption and leveraging data in offering evidence based care in the region, reinforcing Burjeel’s position at the forefront of next-generation healthcare innovation.
The introduction of the platform represents the largest technological upgrade in Burjeel’s history, highlighting the Groups dedication 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. As one of the first regional healthcare providers to implement
Oracle Healths EMR solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the Oracle Cloud Dubai Region,
Burjeel is well-positioned to advance its value-creation strategy by driving operational excellence through
technology.
The platform was launched during an event at the Group’s flagship Burjeel Medical City (BMC). The
event was attended by Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings; Mr. John
Sunil, Group CEO of Burjeel Holdings; Mr. Alaa Adel, Senior Vice President and Managing Director –
International of Oracle Health; and Akram Sami Dhaini, Vice President and Managing Director, along
with other senior officials.
The EMR system rollout has begun at Burjeel’s facilities including BMC, Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi,
and Burjeel Day Surgery Center, Al Reem Island. These initial deployments will help pave the way for a
structured rollout across the Group’s extensive healthcare network.
Mr. John Sunil, Group CEO of Burjeel Holdings, said, “By introducing the Oracle Health EMR platform,
we are advancing our mission to deliver world-class, accessible healthcare as part of our broader
commitment to integrating technology and innovation into every aspect of care. With AI seamlessly
embedded into the system, we are elevating clinical precision, accelerating decision-making, and
enhancing the delivery of evidence-based care. This platform empowers our clinicians with innovative
tools and real-time patient insights, driving better outcomes while streamlining the care journey across
our network.”
Enhancing Clinical Excellence and Patient Safety
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 not only helps improve clinical outcomes but also
offers more timely and accurate access to critical information, reducing patient waiting times, and
increasing engagement with more face-to-face time with clinicians.
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. 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.
Burjeel’s collaboration with Oracle Health is further strengthened by Oracle’s global expertise and
momentum in the healthcare sector. Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences, said, “Burjeel Holdings shares our mission of using modern technology to
dramatically improve the lives of patients and the providers who serve them. By joining forces, we are
working to transform healthcare by delivering real-time insights that help improve care, increase
operational efficiency, and enhance patient safety.”
The platform’s scalability also positions Burjeel to meet future healthcare demands, seamlessly
integrating new facilities and services as the Group continues its expansion in the MENA region.[Ends]
