Hospital Information System “BESTCare”

MNGHA100%

The Health Information System "BESTCare" project was implemented through several stages, beginning with an intensive search for a system that meets the requirements of Ministry of National Guards - Health Affairs, and at the same time, such system shall adhere to the requirements of international standards, In addition, the possibility of internalizing / localizing such system in order to bring out a copy that will meet the requirements of Saudi Arabia and serve the MENA region. After an extensive research, a major international South Korean company was selected, in order to acquire and localize the hospital information system which will ultimately be in line with the local health needs through Saudi expertise, to start working on reaching a milestone in implementing health systems. Moreover, before the official Go-Live in all regions, Real Situation Simulation technique has been applied by the BESTCare team parallel to a support team and a call-center in order to provide technical support and follow-up of the system around the clock to all NGHA Health practitioners to avoid all obstacles and guide users in all facilities to improve the provided health services.
