INTRODUCTION

Never before has the realm of healthcare faced greater challenges than now. The last two decades have witnessed great changes in both public and private healthcare sectors in several countries, driven by needs, demands and investments.

Traditional facility-based providers have been compelled to keep pace with rapid advances in medical knowledge, emerging technology, secure patient information management and nsurers’ reimbursement criteria. New trends in care delivery have emerged in an increasingly competitive environment, with the overarching objectives of winning customer loyalty and achieving commercial success. The achieving of real world benefits and enablement of sustainable outcomes are often overlooked.

RELEVANCE

The world has witnessed rapid advances in all realms of life - from science to education to economics to daily life. Paradigms have emerged for designing, modelling and characterizing practical approaches to integrating these advances in a meaningful way into everyday living. These necessitated new guidelines, policies, procedures, standards and codes of practice, with new legislation to govern their use.

In the United Arab Emirates, a young and strong national regulatory framework, a multi-national workforce, an overwhelming choice of technologies, a multitude of health insurers and diverse customer preferences by segment, add to the complexity of adoption of advances into the existing ecosystem.

The recent pandemic and the global response to it have added a fresh set of challenges that have already disrupted the concepts, understanding and practices in care delivery worldwide. Some areas have fast-tracked, but others have been thrown into precarious imbalance. Such challenges are catalysts for transformational change.

The opportunity is ripe to do things better and differently - with greater efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability.
