All of us are now focused on how we can maximise cybersecurity while minimising the chances of cyberattacks . including an increase in the system ’ s speed and responsiveness and a noticeable deduction in the time spent reviewing patient charts across various specialties ,” said Kimberly Pierce , Chief Executive Officer , KCH Dubai . “ Oracle ’ s cloud offering has the technological infrastructure we need to fully embrace future advancements in areas such as Generative AI that will benefit our patients and how we deliver care while better supporting our practitioners .”

With OCI , KCH Dubai can also now rely on Oracle ’ s real-time threat detection and monitoring , autonomous systems , and team of experts to help protect its networks against the constantly changing cybercrime landscape . In addition , OCI will support scalability of healthcare technology as KCH Dubai expands with new facilities and specialties , ultimately growing its overall operation and capacity to care for its community .

“ The combined power of OCI and our EHR is enabling KCH Dubai physicians to be more productive , waste less time in medical records , and refocus more time on patient care ,” said Seema Verma , Executive Vice President and General Manager , Oracle Health and Life Sciences . “ Moreover , they have the comprehensive platform to continually be able to plug-in the technologies they need to solve their toughest challenges and be more adaptable , predictive and responsive to evolving healthcare needs .”

We asked Kimberly Pierce , Chief Executive Officer , KCH Dubai , and Rajiv Ganapathy , Head of Information Technology , KCH Dubai , further questions to find out more about the project .

How has migrating your EHR system to OCI enhanced the overall cybersecurity posture of KCH Dubai ?

Kimberly : In healthcare , particularly , cybersecurity is a major concern . We ’ ve seen the impact of cyberattacks firsthand , especially in the UK recently , where a cyberattack directly affected patient care . One of the risks of moving to an Electronic Medical Record ( EMR ) system is that if it ’ s compromised , you can suddenly lose access to critical information needed for patient care .

All of us are now focused on how we can maximise cybersecurity while minimising the chances of cyberattacks . The number of attacks we ’ ve experienced has risen exponentially , according to our data .

Migrating to Oracle Cloud was a key decision for us because it enhances cybersecurity by adding multiple layers of protection . While no system is completely immune to attacks , as technology always evolves , this is currently the best solution available to safeguard medical health records .

That ’ s why we chose Oracle Cloud . Additionally , Oracle Health , our EMR provider , has undergone
