While participating in Patient Safety Middle
East, Dubai Hospital showcased its new pilot
program titled “Nursing Smart Program”. The
pilot program launched in the hospital’s blood
transfusion centre.
The program provides the blood transfusion
specialist with the complete medical condi-
tions of the patient who regularly visit the
centre. This allows easy access to diagnosis
and treatment at Dubai Hospital. The pro-
gram is valuable under the weekly shift sys-
tem for the blood centre’s specialists.
The program is highly practical in the sense
that it provides the blood bank with a weekly
list of the patients scheduled to receive treat-
ment. The data given include name of pa-
tient, number of health card, required blood
type and number of units so that the hospital
may properly put the order and ensure the
availability of the units. This should save
waiting time and render effective patient care
services.
The Ministry of Interior(MoI), represented by
the Security Media Department at the General
Secretariat of the Office of H.H Deputy Prime
Minister and Minister of Interior, has developed
the cartoon character “Qannas”. The cartoon
character can be moved by using the latest cre-
ative technological and technical means and
revolutionized 3D movement with the expertise
of a specialist team. Qannas provides advice
and guidance through cartoon clips on satellite
TV channels and social media sites.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Saeed Al Kha-
jah, Deputy Director of Security Media Depart-
ment, these clips will surprise the audience with
their content and realistic language communi-
cation that is mixed with the values, heritage
and traditions of the UAE community. The ob-
jective of Qannas is to spread knowledge and
awareness of security, community, and culture
among the community.
Lieutenant Al Khajah explained that the Qan-
nas will also remind the public of the messages
published by the MoI and Abu Dhabi Police,
provide awareness tips, and will participate in
special police and public events in the country
and for the global police.
