Abstract:

Background: Recent years have seen major adjustments to the Saudi healthcare system with the goal of enhancing all individuals' access to high-quality healthcare services. The integration of healthcare providers and services within a certain geographic region is a primary strategy being pursued, known as health clusters. The purpose of this project is to check the perception and awareness of workers in healthcare about the transformation. Methods: This paper is a cross-sectional mono-quantitative paper since it relies on a survey to find answers to the research questions. This survey was distributed to healthcare practitioners and administrator in Riyadh city. Results: 131 healthcare practitioners and administrators participated in this study. Findings revealed that healthcare workers have a moderate knowledge regarding healthcare transformation programs. They should highly be aware of electronic health records; however, more awareness programs about pharma services with transformation must be applied as well as regarding the application of artificial intelligence and learning machines in the healthcare industry. Conclusion: Saudi health providers perceive this healthcare transformation program as improving health outcomes and increasing access to healthcare for all underprivileged individuals. Based on the results, frequent training must be created to develop the knowledge of health practitioners reading the healthcare transformation program.
