Customer story ∙ By Philips ∙ Featuring Malaffi ∙ okt. 24, 2023 ∙ 3 min read
Malaffi is the MENA region’s first and fastest growing health information exchange (HIE) platforms, allowing public and private healthcare providers in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to exchange key patient information, including radiology images in real time. Clinicians can access a central database of unified clinical records (via their EMR), and from the same platform seamlessly review and manipulate images alongside other relevant patient information.
This vendor-agnostic technology allows clinicians to access images regardless of the hospital’s affiliation or PACS system. Using Philips unified viewing environment for all imaging studies generated in Abu Dhabi, Malaffi improves efficiency and quality of care by reducing the administrative burden and waiting time typically associated with accessing images from other facilities. In addition, clinicians can avoid duplicating unnecessary, invasive and expensive diagnostic patient tests, saving patients from unnecessary radiation and improving the overall patient safety and experience.
"Having access to the images is really important to making decisions around care delivery," said Dr Sanji de Sylva, Vice President of Clinical Engagement and Informatics, Abu Dhabi Health Data Services (Malaffi). "Instead of having to repeat expensive tests, they (clinicians) now have access to these images in real time and are delivering care in a more timely fashion."
