EHS has achieved a milestone in healthcare digital transformation through the implementation of multiple clinical pathways that are embedded within the Oracle Health Foundation Electronic Health Record (EHR).
These pathways are not standalone protocols but are digitally driven workflows that uphold EHS care quality standards and align with UAE Vision 2031, which champions preventive, data-driven and patient-centric healthcare.
Automated care pathways help to better manage emergent conditions like acute stroke and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and are designed to reduce door-to-intervention times. Protocols for conditions such as diabetes care and longitudinal management of bariatric surgery can be structured to help streamline patient journeys and improve long-term care.
Digital pathways drive care quality
For example, the diabetes care pathway includes enrolment, follow-up tracking and automated alerts for compliance gaps.
By integrating real-time decision support, structured assessments and auto-populated order sets, clinicians can receive timely, evidence-based prompts at the point of care.
These innovations have supported the EHS diabetes program in achieving Clinical Care Program Certification from Joint Commission International, validating the safety, standardisation and efficiency of care delivered across its network.
They have also gained several international recognitions and accreditations, including the International Hospital Federation (IHF) Awards and the World Stroke Organization Angels Awards, reinforcing EHS’s role as a regional leader in healthcare innovation.
A model rooted in best practice
The EHS approach to integrated care pathways is guided by a well-defined digital maturity framework that supports governance, sustainability and cross-functional alignment.
Each pathway undergoes a rigorous lifecycle, from clinical consensus and data mapping to pilot testing and KPI-driven refinement, before full-scale roll-out.
Accreditation readiness is treated as an embedded outcome, not an afterthought, with multidisciplinary audits and stakeholder validation ensuring that the digital pathway reflects both clinical best practices and patient safety standards.
Collaboration for digital excellence
The collaboration between Oracle Health and EHS has been instrumental in shaping these innovations, resulting in an EHR platform that helps enable agile updates, seamless interoperability and scalable infrastructure.
These are the key elements that can empower EHS to lead with digital excellence as it adapts to evolving clinical demands.
A proactive future
EHS has a bold but grounded vision for the future: to establish itself as a global benchmark for intelligent, predictive and compassionate healthcare. It will continue to harness the power of Oracle Health’s digital infrastructure to build next-generation clinical pathways – technology that can anticipate needs, help personalise interventions and drive measurable impact.
By integrating AI, real-time analytics and patient-generated data, EHS aims to shift from reactive care to proactive health empowerment. Its leadership will be defined not only by innovation, but by a commitment to equity, excellence and evidence at every digital touchpoint. The future of healthcare isn’t just digital – it’s decisively human, and EHS is proud to lead the way.
