Its facilities include 17 hospitals, 70 primary healthcare centers, and a number of dental and specialized health centers. It is owned and operated by the UAE Federal Government.<\/p>\n<h3>The Challenge<\/h3>\n<p>EHS is a large organization of over 11,500 employees with a deep integration with a number of outsourced functions, such as labs, radiology and kidney dialysis. Among those employees are more than 200 PhD and 400 Masters or equivalent holders. Therefore, as an organization, EHS has a wealth of knowledge and experiences, spread across a wide geographical area.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the spread across more than 100 dispersed facilities significantly hinders the consistency of training offerings and the ability of staff to sufficiently participate without negatively impacting the service.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as a Government entity, the training function is conscious of the need to control costs and maximize benefits from available resources, and is constantly exploring innovative approaches to achieve its goals with minimum waste.<\/p>\n<h3>The Solution<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div class='inline-media-container'>\n      <div class='videoWrapper'>\n      <div>\n        <iframe\n          id='inline-iframe6'\n          class='videoEmbed'\n          src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FxcRDQC-LDE?autoplay=0&#038;mute=1'\n          title='YouTube video player'\n          allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"\n          allowFullScreen\n        ><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n      <div id='inline-thumbnail-container6'>\n                  <img decoding=\"async\" \n            loading='lazy'\n            class='videoThumbnail'\n            src=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/emirates-health-service-sm-card-1024x576.png\"  \n            alt=\"\"\n            srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/emirates-health-service-sm-card.png 1200w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/emirates-health-service-sm-card-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/emirates-health-service-sm-card-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/emirates-health-service-sm-card-768x432.png 768w\"\n            sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\"\n          \/>\n                \n<a id=\"videoEmbedButton6\" class=\"button-link largeSize\" target=\"\" href=\"\">\n  <span class='container darkPrimaryTheme'>\n    <div><\/div>\n    <div><\/div>\n    <div class='contents'>\n      <span>Play video<\/span>\n      <svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" fill=\"#2C9892\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n        <path fillRule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M2 10C2 9.58579 2.33579 9.25 2.75 9.25L15.3879 9.25L10.2302 4.29062C9.93159 4.00353 9.92228 3.52875 10.2094 3.23017C10.4965 2.93159 10.9713 2.92228 11.2698 3.20937L17.7698 9.45937C17.9169 9.60078 18 9.79599 18 10C18 10.204 17.9169 10.3992 17.7698 10.5406L11.2698 16.7906C10.9713 17.0777 10.4965 17.0684 10.2094 16.7698C9.92228 16.4713 9.93159 15.9965 10.2302 15.7094L15.3879 10.75L2.75 10.75C2.33579 10.75 2 10.4142 2 10Z\" \/>\n        <\/svg>    <\/div>\n  <\/span>\n<\/a>      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n<script>\n  let inline_button6 = document.getElementById('videoEmbedButton6');\n  let inline_thumbnailContainer6 = document.getElementById('inline-thumbnail-container6');\n  let inline_iframe6 = document.getElementById('inline-iframe6');\n  let inline_videoURL6 = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FxcRDQC-LDE';\n\n  inline_thumbnailContainer6.addEventListener('click', function(e) {\n    e.preventDefault();\n    inline_thumbnailContainer6.style.display = 'none';\n    inline_iframe6.src = `${inline_videoURL6}?autoplay=1&mute=0`;\n  });\n<\/script>\n\n\n<div class='inline-text-container MobileAlignment DesktopAlignment'>\n  <div class='richText'><p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.totara.fortyapp.com\/events\/building-a-thriving-talent-experience-insights-from-emirates-health-services-totara-journey\/\"><strong>Watch the full customer testimonial video here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After several internal discussions, benchmarking visits and examination of the relevant business literature, EHS elected to adopt a knowledge management approach to its learning and development strategy.

Another notable result is how Maharati allowed EHS to maintain training even during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a minimal drop in 2020, and a strong recovery after.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Maharati was a core enabler towards EHS ISO 30401:2018 in Knowledge Management (the first federal government Entity and first healthcare entity in the UAE to achieve it) as well as GC-Mark in knowledge management (the first government entity worldwide to achieve Platinum Level recognition).<\/p>\n<p>The positive feedback the Maharati team regularly receives from both managers and users is a true sign of success when staff contact the Maharati team at the Training &amp; Development Center (TDC) in EHS, asking how they can contribute to Maharati and\/or how they can leverage Maharati to solve pressing business, knowledge or learning needs in their work areas.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cMaharati is amazing!
