Through this e-system, the DoH has introduced technologies to facilitate connectivity between both the public and the private healthcare sector; identify their requirements; and efficiently manage resources.
Resources, including doctors, nurses, beds, and medical necessities, can now be exchanged as needed - as Istijaba shows real-time information about the capacity of facilities that provide treatment for positive coronavirus cases.
Healthcare professionals will also be able to work in other facilities if necessary, and off-duty staff will be able to join the emergency and crisis response team.
The system can provide a detailed breakdown of the total number of available medical staff; the number of beds inside healthcare facilities and hotels where current patients are located; and hygiene necessities and medicines.
Matar Al Nuaimi, director for emergency and disaster management at DoH, said: "We continue to work alongside healthcare facilities in the emirate to take the reins to fight Covid-19 and employ all possible resources to further enhance healthcare services and ensure a sustainable and efficient delivery."
"Patients remain at the forefront of the DoH's priorities as it strives to continue developing various tools," Al Nuaimi added.
Istijaba was put in place last year to gather information on healthcare resources in the emirate and create a solid database of information. It provides real-time reports on healthcare, including the occupancy rates of beds in health facilities and the availability of medical specialties, which contributes to ensuring that appropriate action is taken when emergencies arise.
