Harris Flex EPR supports milestone in Kuwait’s digital health transformation
KUWAIT CITY, October 2026 – Harris Arc Health congratulates Al-Amiri Hospital, part of Kuwait’s Ministry of Health, on being designated HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6, an international benchmark for digital maturity in healthcare. The designation, announced October 4, is valid through 2029 and follows an eight-year transformation program that began in 2018. Al-Amiri runs Harris Flex EPR, and the program also covered infrastructure upgrades, tighter integration with critical care, pharmacy, laboratory and imaging systems, clinical decision support, and expanded telemedicine and patient-facing digital services.
The scale of the work reflects how much of the hospital now runs digitally. Al-Amiri’s environment spans 12 major clinical systems, serves roughly 4,000 staff, and holds more than 450,000 patient records, and its “Digital Amiri Gateway” has reached over 251,000 patients. The hospital reached Stage 5 in 2020 and has since progressed through years of successive phases, with hospital leadership now setting its sights on Stage 7.
“Al Amiri Hospital’s teams achieved HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6 during one of the most challenging periods the region has seen. That says everything about their commitment to their patients. We’re proud that Flex sits at the heart of their system, and prouder still to have supported them through this journey.” – James Boys, Vice President, Flex Customer Success, Harris Arc Health
Harris Arc Health extends its congratulations to the Ministry of Health Kuwait, to Hospital Director Dr. Areej Al-Kandari, to Dr. Abdulrahman Abdullah Al-Fares and the Digital Transformation Committee, and to the medical, nursing, technical and administrative teams at Al-Amiri. The company also thanks Virtus Informatics, which worked alongside Harris Arc Health on the implementation. Harris Arc Health remains committed to supporting Al-Amiri’s progress toward Stage 7 and to digital health initiatives across Kuwait.
