Patient Data Track Abstract: It has been found that patients queuing at reception, pharmacy, appointmen departments of the hospitals. In this paper, pa presented such that it enables not only p patient within each service area of the hospi retrieving relevant medical records of the another hospital within a collaborative heal The architectural challenges are investi framework for such a collaborative region is patient record database is developed, and te chosen to exemplify a typical environme related to its deployment are also discussed. 1 Introduction The hospitals are usually funded by th organizations (for profit or non-profit), he companies or charities, including direct chari In order to understand the status of public hea was undertaken by authors to investigate healthcare provided to residents of a typical Cooperation Council (GCC), like United (UAE). The study revealed that in UAE, hea are internationally recognized and compa developed countries. The hospital or patient i management systems deployed at various private hospitals in UAE look different b similar, as each one targets benefits of s operations, enhanced administration and con response, cost control, improved profitabili customized to the requirements of any hospita The hospital hierarchy in any emirate of U structured as shown in Figure 1, where shad unit means that a number of similar unit(s) m in that town/city depending upon town popu the hospitals in UAE uses RFID technology or at regional level to enhance healthcare of p mobile or need better healthcare while r Figure 1 shows that private hospital(s hospital(s) and basic health unit may form healthcare together or with similar units in a city. Practically at hospital level, a identification (ID) would help in ge information of the patient. Thus, if patient is b the hospital for presence, this means hi medical records are in the database. Now, c on the move – visiting either different area, relocated to a city for a shorter or longer d he/she needs medical help. The hospital in (called as remote hospital) may use collab network and a database to access his/her m from the hospital (at old location), where he his move.
