• Information to be added or removed: My proposal is a new edition for the article:

The Department of Health-Abu Dhabi is the regulative body of the healthcare sector in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It shapes the regulatory framework for the Emirates health system (public and private), inspects against regulations and enforces standards.

History and main regulations

The Department of Health (former General Authority of Health Services for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi) was established in 2007 as part of a health system major reform.[1][2][3]

In 2011 the Authority introduced premarital screening and counselling,[4] and the Jawda initiative, a grading system for pharmaceutical services[5][6] which was extended in subsequent years with hospital ratings[7] and the monitoring of key medical services performance, with 50 clinical outcome indicators.[8][9][10]

In 2018 the Department of Health signed with New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on a long-term study to investigate the causes of common chronic diseases among Emirates.[11] Also in 2018, a new regulation to mandate dispensing of generic medicines was introduced.[12]

In 2019 the Department launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab initiative, dedicated to developing healthcare solutions through emerging technologies.[13][14] The same the Authority created a Strategic Partnership Council to strengthening partnerships between public and private healthcare providers.[15][16]

By 2019, the Department regulated 46 primary healthcare centres, 12 hospitals (community and general), 4 specialised centres and 3 dental centres in the public sector, and more than 800 centres in the private sector.[1]

___________

  1. ^ This section of text contains multiple claims which would benefit from being placed in their own sentences. A few of these particular claims need clarification: (a) the Jawda initiative does not state how and in what way these pharamceutical services are "graded"; (b) how these "grades" relate to the subsequent hospital ratings effected after 2011; (c) which key medical service performances were monitored; and (c) what the 50 clinical outcome indicators are.
  2. ^ Please elaborate upon what these "emerging technologies" are, how they "develop healthcare solutions", and how they are related to artifical intelligence.
  3. ^ This section of the proposed text contains grammatical errors which make the meaning of the sentence difficult to interpret. If the claim is supposed to describe the creation of a council meant at facilitating communication between public and private healthcare providers, then that should be stated in plain language (i.e., "facilitating communication", which focuses on the increase of dialogue between participants, as opposed to "strengthening partnerships", which is vague). Also, the difference between public and private healthcare providers may be different in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi than it is for other societies where the reader may originate from. This difference should be briefly explained, perhaps with an example or two.
  4. ^ An exact count of these regulated facilities is not helpful to the reader, in particular, the description of the regulation of "800 centres" does not state what type of centres these are, and does not state the difference between public and private sectors as these terms relate to the healthcare centres described. For example, it may be generally understood that public healthcare centres are hospitals; however, what may be less-understood are the differences between public and private dental centres, which are listed in this part of the proposed text (e.g., "3 dental centres in the public sector, and more than 800 centres in the private sector"). In the United States for example, dental centres are usually privately-run facilities which are open to the public, so the distinction of a private or public facility would not normally apply to them.

Response to point 1: all text not mentioned in the proposal should be removed (otherwise, there will be repeated and disorderly information)

Proposal Review:

In all cases, I include a new version of the text, with additional links to be placed at the end of each paragraph (I do not reproduce the references added in the original proposal, but in no case these are modified).

Note 1:

I include a link to the official website of the Department, where the Jawda initiative is explained, and where there is a link to all the details.

My new proposal with added link:

In 2011 the Authority introduced premarital screening and counseling, and the Jawda initiative, a grading system for pharmaceutical services, developed to improve the quality of the patient's experience in Abu Dhabi. Jawda was extended in subsequent years with hospital ratings and the monitoring of key medical services performance (waiting times, incidents during interventions, unplanned readmissions, infections in interventions, death rates, among others). Jawda is generated on a quarterly basis. https: //doh.gov.ae/resources/jawda-abu-dhabi-healthcare-quality-index

Note 2:

New proposal with added link:

In 2019 the Department launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab initiative, dedicated to developing healthcare solutions through emerging technologies (machine learning, distributed intelligent systems, expert systems). The Department considers that "AI can play a central role" in improving healthcare services and research, in:

  • Diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
  • Patient monitoring and Patient Engagement.
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Research into new treatments and Precision Medicine.
  • Targeted population health programs.
  • Access to healthcare.
  • Billing and insurance processing.

Note 3:

New proposal with added links:

The same Authority created a Strategic Partnership Council to generate a continuous communication channel between public and private healthcare providers. In 2019 it launched "Malaffi", a system that will connect public and private health providers throughout the Emirate. https://www.haad.ae/haad/tabid/58/ctl/Details/Mid/417/ItemID/808/Default.aspx https://www.himssme.org/dubai/2019/related/148 https://www.thenational.ae/uae/health/thousands-more-abu-dhabi-patients-set-to-have-medical-records-uploaded-to-shared-database-1.883679

This link explains the characteristics of the public and private system of the Emirate. I don't know how it could be included in the text: https://usuaebusiness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/HealthcareReport_Update_June2014.pdf Myounes22 (talk) 04:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

___________

  1. ^ The sentence "developed to improve the quality of the patient's experience" was omitted.
  2. ^ This claim statement deals with "Department considerations", in other words, it deals with things that the Department feels likely to occur. These types of forecasts regarding the future ought not to be placed in articles. See WP:FUTURE.
  3. ^ The nature of this feedback channel has not been established. Even though the explanation has been improved by stating that "a continuous communication channel" would be established, the claim still does not specify whether the feedback will be generated between doctors and patients or between facilities, nor does it describe the differences between public and private healthcare providers as they exist in the country.

About note 2: The AI Lab initiative has already been implemented. The phrase could be this: "In 2019 the Department launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab initiative, dedicated to developing healthcare solutions through emerging technologies (machine learning, distributed intelligent systems, expert systems)."

About note 3: For a better understanding, it can be added that the communication channel will be established between centers, the patient´s medical records will be available in the system for permanent consultation between both health systems. Myounes22 (talk) 11:01, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

The word "initiative" does not make clear what this policy entails, which are actually regulations and guidance issued by the government's regulators for future technology (the innovations trialled under the Dubai Future Accelerator Programme). The information on the regulations may be added because those are in effect now, but the actual wording of those regulations should be included rather than the description of it as just an "initiative", which is not a very informative description on its own. With regards to the second request, the language used to describe this is using future tense (e.g., the communication channel will be established between centers and the patient´s medical records will be available in the system for permanent consultation between both health systems). For this to be added, the description needs to be in the present tense per MOS:TENSE. Regards,  Spintendo  11:20, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

About note 2: Is it possible to make a brief description such as the indicated phrase - replacing the word with Program -? and the reader which needs more information, will investigate in the reference articles. The phrase could be this: "In 2019 the Department launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab program, dedicated to developing healthcare solutions through emerging technologies (machine learning, distributed intelligent systems, expert systems)."

About note 3: As in the paragraph mentioned above, this should not be the place to comment on the technological implications of the communication channel, which can be investigated by the reader, if it is of interest. The phrase could be this: "The same Authority created a Strategic Partnership Council to generate a continuous communication channel between public and private system, with patient´s medical records available in a shared database for permanent consultation. With this objective, in 2019 it launched "Malaffi" (Abu Dhabi Health Information Exchange)."

Paragraphs to delete:

  • "45 healthcare facilities across Abu Dhabi are available to provide meningococcal, seasonal influenza and pneumococcal Hajj vaccines for UAE citizens [4] and residents free of charge.": Please remove - it talks about a specific topic, such as vaccine placement. The number of centers is outdated.
  • "Also in 2011, 56,226 men and women preparing for marriage were tested for genetic and infectious disorders were tested between 2011 and the end of 2014. In 2014 16,247 people were tested; 342 were Beta-thalassaemia carriers, 8 had sickle-cell anemia, 205 were sickle-cell anemia carriers, 36 had syphilis and 140 had hepatitis B.": Please remove - it talks about a specific topic about health data for 2011.

   Edit request partially implemented  

  1.  Y The requested sections were removed.
  2.  N The requested section concerning the AI initiative was not added, as it was felt that the wording of the passage is incomplete in that it leaves out a fullsome description of the language of the initiative. The main thrust of the claim is that the Department instituted these requirements. If that is the case, then those requirements ought to be delineated.

  Additional changes made:

  • The more citations needed maintenance template was omitted.

  Suggested changes:

  • The claim In 2014, 421 Jawda-related audits were carried out, which discovered failures in 4 healthcare centres in complying with room disinfection standards, cleanliness, medical device quality control standards, mixing sterile and non-sterile tools and storing medical files improperly ought to be removed. The results of these individual Jawda related audits are not necessary in the article — and if anything — appear to WP:WEIGHT the article improperly, as they seem to highlight deficiencies which might reasonably be expected to arise in any health care system.
