The Largest Healthcare Transformation Programme in the GCC
Saudi Vision 2030's Health Transformation Programme is restructuring the entire Saudi healthcare system — targeting 70% privatisation of healthcare services, reorganising delivery through 9 regional health clusters, and transitioning payment models from volume-based to value-based reimbursement. This transformation creates immediate demand for clinical quality analytics, cost management tools, and outcome measurement infrastructure.
The Saudi Ministry of Health has set a target of 3.3 hospital beds per 1,000 population, requiring significant expansion of hospital capacity while simultaneously demanding higher quality and efficiency. The 9 health clusters (including Riyadh, Makkah, Madinah, Eastern Region, and others) are each responsible for population health management across their geographic areas.
NPHIES — the National Platform for Health Information Exchange in Saudi Arabia — is the national interoperability infrastructure connecting providers, payers, and the Ministry of Health. Vizier is designed to integrate with NPHIES-compatible data exports, enabling analytics against the national quality indicators established by the Saudi Health Council.
DHA Dubai and DoH Abu Dhabi: Separate Authorities, Common Analytics Needs
The United Arab Emirates operates a federated healthcare regulatory structure. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) governs health facility licensing, quality standards, and health data in Dubai. The Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH) — successor to the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) — governs healthcare in Abu Dhabi. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) oversees federal standards across all emirates.
DHA compliance requirements include facility licensing, electronic medical records standards, clinical quality indicator reporting, and insurance claims data standards. The transition from HAAD legacy standards to current DoH Abu Dhabi requirements has required significant data migration and reclassification for health systems that operate across both emirates.
UAE medical tourism exceeds 500,000 visitors annually, with Dubai Healthcare City serving as the primary hub. Quality benchmarking against international standards (JCI and CBAHI) is increasingly required by medical tourism facilitators — driving demand for structured outcomes reporting that most regional providers do not currently have in place.
The GCC Transition to Value-Based Healthcare Requires Outcome Measurement
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain are all implementing value-based healthcare payment models. Quality data is the prerequisite for participation — and most regional health systems lack the infrastructure to produce it at the required granularity.
Medical Tourism Quality Benchmarking
Structured outcome reporting for JCI and CBAHI-accredited facilities competing for international patients. Patient safety indicators, mortality rates, infection rates, and patient experience scores formatted for international comparison.
Value-Based Contract Analytics
As GCC payers transition from fee-for-service to bundled payments and shared savings, Vizier models clinical cost and quality performance under alternative payment frameworks.
Clinical Quality Indicator Dashboards
DHA, DoH, and Saudi Ministry of Health clinical quality indicators tracked against regional and international benchmarks. Arabic language reporting available.
Analytics Built for the GCC Regulatory Environment
DHA compliance reporting, Saudi Vision 2030 quality metrics, JCI accreditation support, and NPHIES-compatible data integration — with Arabic language reporting and regional regulatory expertise.
