Hospitals today generate mountains of data — admissions, lab results, patient feedback, billing records — yet many still struggle to turn that data into better decisions. This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy responds to that gap by teaching participants how information systems function inside a healthcare organisation and how they connect directly to service quality.

Rather than treating information management as an IT-only topic, the course shows healthcare staff how to build a foundational information system for tracking quality, spot the obstacles that block good data use, and set up a database that supports ongoing measurement and improvement of the services provided.

Who Should Attend?

• Managers and department heads in healthcare facilities.
• Staff working in health information management.
• Health supervisors and oversight officers.
• Anyone looking to build their skills in this field.
