A Study of Challenger of Jordan Public Health Care Government: A case study in implementing Hakeem

                This Symposium on IT Governance, Management & Audit (SIGMA) 2012 was held in College of Information Technology, Universiti Tenaga Nasional on 20th June 2012 at 2.30 pm. The theme of SIGMA is “Governing the Future. Take Charge”.  The venue assigned to us is BW-G-R15. There were several papers presented such as Investigation of ISG Section in Mosul Health in Iraq and A Study of Challenger of Jordan Public Health Care Government. We choose A Study of Challenger of Jordan Public Health Care Government: A case study in implementing Hakeem. This paper was presented by Duo’ A Nassar.


                Hakeem is Arabic word which means doctor in English. The benefits of EHR are patient safety and satisfactions are ensured, quality service is provided and the cost is controlled. Idea of Hakeem came from King Jordan and was continued by his son, King Abdullah bin Hussin. The health sector is divided into three phases. The first phase starts in 2009 until 2011. This phase is about EMR which contains one public hospital and Amman comprehensive center. Second phase which starts in 2011 until now has two public hospitals and one comprehensive center. Phase three is about future plan. It deploys and connects the EHR in all Jordan public hospitals.



                Several challenges were identified to make EHR a success. The challenges are divided into two which are global challenges and special challenges. For global challenges, there are financial, technology and publicity and legacy challenges. Meanwhile for special challenges, it involves two challenges which are stakeholder and organization challenges. The challenges governor are governmental leadership, Jordanian strategic initiative, work policy, resell ideas, data warehouse and data mining techniques, support and few others.


                 In conclusion, this assignment has been helpful to us in getting knowledge about symposium and on how a research is being presented.  Besides that, we were able to know the technology from different countries such as Jordan and Amman. This assignment also has been helpful for all of us to gain experience in preparing ourselves for next assignment which is the academic paper.
