Executive Summary
The Department of Health– Abu Dhabi (DOH) is the regulatory body of the healthcare
sector in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and ensures excellence in healthcare for the
community by monitoring the health status of its population.
The main challenges that are presented with increasingly dynamic population include
an aging population with increased expectation for treatment, utilization of technology
and diverse workforce leading to increased complexity of healthcare provision in Abu
Dhabi. All of this results in an increased and inherent risk to quality and patient safety.
DOH has developed dynamic and comprehensive quality framework in order to bring
about improvements across the health sector. This guidance relates to the quality
indicators that DOH is mandating be collected and monitor by all Primary healthcare
provider in Abu Dhabi.
The guidance sets out the full definition and method of calculation for patient safety and
clinical effectiveness indicators. For enquiries about this guidance, please contact
[email protected]
This document is subjected for review and therefore it is advisable to utilize online
versions available on the DOH at all times.

Primary Care (PC) Service JAWDA Performance Indicators
The Jawda KPI for primary care in this guidance include measures to monitor i.e. how
well primary care service providers care for their patients, how often they follow best
practices and how effective they are at keeping patients healthy, and how patients feel
about their experience at primary care service providers. Healthcare providers are the
most qualified professionals to develop and evaluate quality of care for people with
chronic conditions; therefore, it is crucial that clinicians retain a leadership position in
defining performance among primary care healthcare service providers.
All the Jawda KPIs are applicable to patient encounters* with the family medicine
consultant or general practitioner. This is in alignment with the DOH primary care
standard.
*The KPI definitions are not applicable to other specialty physician encounters e.g. pediatrician,
dental, homeopathic etc.
- DOH Standard for Primary Healthcare Services in Emirate of Abu Dhabi (September 2022)
- Scope of Practice Guidelines for Licensed Healthcare Professionals (Family Medicine) (July
2022)
- Scope of Practice for General Practitioner (October 2022)
Note: Jawda team may use centrally collected claim data submitted by healthcare
providers through Shafafiya portal to validate the data submitted by the providers
through Jawda portal.

please consider any visit after applying the exclusion criteria (e.g. ABM
mandate encounters excluded)
