Dubai, UAE – Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres has launched its digital transformation journey by implementing the InterSystems TrakCare electronic medical record (EMR) system at Medcare Hospital Sharjah. The initiative is part of a wider rollout of TrakCare as a Service across Medcare’s four hospitals and 16 medical centres.
TrakCare as a Service is a private, cloud-hosted EMR platform that enables healthcare providers to manage clinical and financial operations through a subscription-based model, eliminating the need for significant upfront infrastructure investments.

The unified healthcare information system provides clinicians with a comprehensive view of each patient’s clinical, administrative, and financial information, supporting informed decision-making, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing the overall patient experience.
The implementation is also expected to reduce patient waiting times, minimise unnecessary tests, and improve access to patient records while strengthening patient safety and privacy.
“We are pleased with the successful go-live of TrakCare at Medcare Hospital Sharjah in a record 7 months’ time, and are on track to deploy TrakCare as a Service at its four hospitals and 16 medical centers. TrakCare as a Service will enable Medcare staff to focus on what they do best: delivering excellent patient care, while entrusting InterSystems with their EMR landscape,” said Ali Abi Raad, Country Manager for the Middle East and India at InterSystems.

Medcare Hospital Sharjah is among the first hospitals globally using TrakCare to benefit from its expanded mobile capabilities, including support for operating theatre bookings, maternity services, nursing care plans, patient journey tracking, and dynamic patient lists.
Dr. Yehia El Gabbani, Chief Operating Officer at Medcare Hospital Sharjah said, “We are committed to delivering outstanding patient care and exceptional clinical services in our communities. We strongly believe that adopting innovations and world-class technologies will renovate our patient experience and units’ operations. We implemented InterSystems TrakCare to improve the clinical outcomes and patient care delivery which in turn will help us strengthen our patient safety and privacy, patient record availability, and reduce the overall waiting time.”
The implementation will also help Medcare comply with the UAE Health Authorities’ Health Information Exchange (HIE) initiatives, enabling secure sharing of patient records between authorised healthcare providers across public and private healthcare systems.
