Mustashfa Hospital Management System Rollout
The Ask
Leadership wanted one system for scheduling, clinical notes handoff, inventory, and insurer-ready billing - without a risky big-bang cutover. Staff needed Arabic and English screens, PDPL-compliant consent capture, and training that fit shift patterns.
- Replace three disconnected admin tools with one shared patient record
- Roll out department by department without stopping daily operations
- Capture PDPL consent and maintain audit-ready access logs from day one
- Support Arabic and English equally across reception and clinical teams

Background
The client operates two outpatient locations serving general medicine, paediatrics, and minor procedures. Front desk, nursing, and billing teams had outgrown a patchwork of spreadsheets, a legacy appointment module, and a separate invoicing tool that did not share patient records.
Every patient visit touched at least two systems. Reception typed demographics twice. Nursing copied appointment notes into a billing spreadsheet at end of day. Finance could not reconcile insurer packages without calling clinical staff.
Challenges
The clinic could not afford a full shutdown. Each constraint shaped how we phased the rollout and what we integrated first.
Approach
We started with appointments and billing - the highest-friction handoffs - then added inventory and reporting once staff trusted the core record.
Results
Outcomes below reflect the first six months after the final department went live. Figures come from client operations reports, not projections.
- ~35% Reduction in admin time per patient visit (project outcome)
- 3 wks Parallel running before each legacy tool was retired
- 2 Locations live on one shared patient record
- 0 Compliance findings in post-launch PDPL review
- Reception Stopped re-keying patient details into a separate billing spreadsheet.
- Clinical Nursing handoffs visible to finance without end-of-day phone calls.
- Leadership Department-level reporting available without exporting three CSV files.
Client's Role
The client stayed involved through weekly demos and sign-off at each phase gate. We did not disappear after launch.
Client team
Named a project owner from operations, a clinical lead per location, and a finance counterpart for billing rules. They joined weekly demos and signed off each module before the next went live.
MiraalTech team
One product owner, two engineers, and a QA lead embedded with the client. We ran training sessions per role, wrote handover runbooks, and stayed on call through the first month after each cutover.

WhatsApp AI Assistant for a Multi-Branch Clinic
Reception teams handled high volumes of WhatsApp messages manually alongside phone calls, leading to delayed replies and missed appointment confirmations. They needed automated booking and reminder flows on WhatsApp Business API - in Arabic and English - with escalation to staff for clinical questions.
Arabic-English Patient Booking Platform
Patients previously booked via phone or Instagram DMs, making capacity planning and insurer validation difficult. They wanted a single booking experience on web and mobile with Arabic RTL support, insurer eligibility checks, and automated reminders.
Dental Clinic System Integration
Imaging software, practice management, and insurer billing lived in separate systems, forcing staff to re-key treatment codes and photos. They asked for a unified patient timeline with Arabic treatment summaries and NPHIES-ready claim codes.
