What is a DHA primary care audit?

A DHA primary care audit evaluates a Dubai outpatient clinic against Dubai Health Authority standards covering safety, quality, access, workforce, digital health (NABIDH), governance and patient experience. BHC automates this across 12+ domains with evidence capture and a maturity score.

What is DoH JAWDA compliance for primary care in Abu Dhabi?

JAWDA is the Department of Health Abu Dhabi performance and quality framework. BHC scores Abu Dhabi polyclinics and family medicine practices against the 8 DoH Core Pillars including JAWDA KPIs, public health and the 2026 Patient Experience Standard (PXS).

Does BHC support both Dubai and Abu Dhabi clinics?

Yes. BHC is a dual-emirate platform with native frameworks for Dubai (DHA, NABIDH, EJADAH, PQR 2025) and Abu Dhabi (DoH, JAWDA, PXS 2026).

What clinics use BHC?

BHC is built for primary care providers including polyclinics, family medicine centres and outpatient clinics across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Does DHA give notice before an inspection?

Routine DHA inspections in Dubai are unannounced, so readiness has to be a maintained state rather than something assembled after a notification arrives.

What do DHA inspectors ask to see first?

Typically facility and professional licences, the medical director's presence, the policy set, a sample of clinical records with consent, and the infection control and medication logs.

How long does DHA inspection preparation take?

Clinics with existing documentation usually need three to four weeks to verify, correct and rehearse. Clinics starting from an incomplete policy set need longer, and should prioritise patient safety items first.

Is a mock inspection worth doing?

Yes, in the final weeks. It tests whether evidence can actually be produced under questioning, which is the part document reviews miss.

How to Prepare for a DHA Inspection

Preparing for a DHA inspection means being able to produce evidence on the day, not building a file after the visit is announced — DHA inspections in Dubai are unannounced. The reliable preparation sequence is: verify every professional and facility licence is current in Sheryan, put the policy set under version control with the medical director's sign-off, close the clinical records and consent gaps including NABIDH, complete the infection control and medication logs, and then rehearse the visit with a mock inspection so you find out whether the evidence can actually be produced within minutes.
