In October 2009, Electronic Health Solutions (EHS) launched its flagship program, Hakeem, the first national initiative of its kind, to automate the public healthcare sector in Jordan, under the patronage of his Majesty King Abdullah II Bin Al Hussein. The program aims to facilitate efficient, high-quality healthcare in the Kingdom through the nationwide implementation of an Electronic Health Record solution (EHR). In effect, physicians, pharmacists, medical technologists and other clinicians are able to electronically access medical records of patients within participating health facilities in Jordan simply by entering the patient’s national ID number.
