“The launch of our EHR CLIQ [Oracle Health Foundation EHR] marks a milestone in advancing the quality of care we deliver to our military personnel and their families. By teaming with Oracle Health, we can be confident that each patient’s medical information is managed securely, supporting our commitment to operational excellence and world-class healthcare.”
Military Medical City Hospital (MMCH), Qatar’s first military hospital, operates 400 beds and 50 outpatient clinics, serving military personnel, their families, and Ministry of Defense entities.
Before implementing Oracle Health Foundation EHR, known internally as Clinical Information Systems QAF (CLIQ), MMCH relied on paper-based processes. Today, clinicians access comprehensive patient records digitally in a centralized location, enabling near real-time insights, enhanced care coordination, and robust reporting tools.
Performance has improved significantly as adoption of the tools has increased. MMCH scaled to handle nearly double the lab volume[1] while reducing the average routine lab turnaround time by 32%.[2] The emergency department treated 42% more patients[3] and reduced length of stay by 10.5%, improving patient flow.[4]
Medication dispensing increased by approximately 156%, reflecting greater operational efficiency.[5] Clinician engagement and documentation also rose, with a 78% increase in accepted decision support alerts[6] and a 66% increase in documentation signed.[7]
These advancements demonstrate a responsive, secure, and patient-centered care environment at MMCH.
