Description
The Department of Health (DoH), in line with its vision: A Healthier Abu Dhabi, continues to develop the Healthcare Capacity Management System. This Healthcare Capacity Master Plan (CMP), its methodology and the tools and initiatives contained within it, provides both the framework and the future plans that underpin the sustainable development of the Abu Dhabi healthcare system in a way that supports DoH Mission1. DoH CMP is designed to help Abu Dhabi respond to its current and future healthcare demands, establish a healthcare planning culture and introduce guiding principles and specific plans for healthcare capacity and provision.Work on the CMP involved:
• Development of an advanced healthcare capacity planning system including new tools that are at the forefront of healthcare planning technology.
• Major analyses to understand the demand for healthcare now and in the future at Emirate, Regional and Precinct level and to interpret this demand by service type and specialty.
• A comprehensive audit of existing and planned healthcare facilities. The CMP is a conceptual document that distils all analyses, themes, methodologies, and regulatory requirements relating to healthcare supply into a single cohesive review of Abu Dhabi healthcare requirements. It articulates the conclusions as a clear plan for sustainable future healthcare in Abu Dhabi and provides implementation plans to address the major issues identified. The healthcare demand projections articulated throughout the CMP take account of the projected population, population ageing and expected changes in burden of disease and efficiency of the delivery of healthcare
