Introduction
1.1 KFSHRC OVERVIEW
King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC) is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's leading
tertiary & quaternary healthcare provider. KFSH&RC's mission is to provide the highest level of specialized
healthcare in an integrated educational and research setting.

KFSH&RC has a rich history of providing high-quality clinical services, which it seeks to build upon and take
from strength to strength. KFSH&RC provides world-class clinical services, including cutting-edge
treatments in oncology, transplantation, cardiovascular diseases, neurosciences, genetics, and IVF
treatment. As one of its flagship examples, KFSH&RC is incredibly proud of its achievements in
transplantation, significantly worldwide leading transplant centers in the UK and the US. KFSH&RC ranked
1st in Pediatric Liver and Kidney Transplants (<18 years old) compared with centers in the UK and the USA
in 2016, and also, the patient and graft survival rates are comparable to the US transplant centers for all
organs.

Under the auspices of Vision 2030, KFSH&RC is undertaking a Transformation towards a financially
sustainable, independent, not-for-profit foundation. Simultaneously, the public healthcare ecosystem in
the Kingdom is undergoing significant changes that necessitate material adjustments in the strategic and
operating relationship between KFSH&RC and the stakeholders across this ecosystem, potentially
impacting the volume and nature of referrals channeled reimbursement revenue for KFSH&RC.

1.2 HITA BACKGROUND


In 2014 organization re-structure took place to shift the information technology operating business model
to be Healthcare Information Technology Affairs (HITA) by converging Informatics, communication, and
