Sidra Medical and Research Center Selects Sword Achiever as its Safety Risk Management System and Accreditation Management Software Vendor
LONDON, January 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The Challenge
Sidra Medical and Research Center is a hospital, research and education institution
currently under construction in Doha on Qatar Foundation's 2,500-acre Education City
campus. It will initially have around 400 beds with infrastructure to enable expansion to
550 beds in a subsequent phase. As an ultramodern, all-digital academic medical center
that has been designed and planned to the best international standards in sciences, Sidra
set about the procurement of a Governance Risk and Compliance Management (GRC) enterprise
solution, to control risks that might adversely affect realization of Sidra's vision for
health care.
The Solution
GRC covers a broad range of risks typically entailing financial, information
technology, and legal issues. Sidra's goal is to prioritize risks, justify funding for
remediation, and use policy to guide operational teams in corrective actions. The crucial
value of GRC is in controlling legal and regulatory compliance risks, for these can
trigger substantial penalties and even threaten viability of a business.
The Sword Achiever GRC solution, AchieverPlus, offers Sidra a platform which enables
the management of controls relating to process, operations, and management; a subset
addresses technical controls. It extends the executive dashboard concept providing senior
management with snapshot views furnished by IT into Sidra Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
goals and results which will provide corporate wide Governance, Compliance and Safety Risk
Management overview across the facility.
By implementing AchieverPlus, Sidra can bring all the elements of risk together in a
single, enterprise-wide solution to ensure that they are focusing accurately on the risk
in the organisation across all business functions. The aim is to ensure that corporate
performance and business planning can be risk-adjusted based on real information to give
the true reflection of the level of risk within the organization.
The Benefits
The deployment of Sword Achiever's GRC software solution, AchieverPlus, will provide
Sidra with:
- The ability to streamline the process of risk assessment by enabling Sidra
to assess risk once and satisfy many requirements simultaneously
- The tools necessary to eliminate the complexities of historic risk management
by making the management of risk a part of everyday business
- The ability to quickly adapt Sidra Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) framework
to meet ever-changing requirements while minimizing impact to the business operations
- A central portal for access to organization-wide risk information that is
actionable by the right people at the right time up, down, and across the organization
- The ability to utilize one solution to easily adapt to the organization's
unique GRC challenges including clinical risk methodologies
- The ability to monitor, measure and manage technical control effectiveness to
corporate security policies
- The ability to map security issues to business applications and roll-up risk
across the enterprise
- A comprehensive risk repository to enable Sidra to access centralized
compliance reporting in one location
The core benefit of the AchieverPlus GRC software solution is to gather risk across
the various business units within Sidra to ensure that management has an overview of key
risk issues facing the organization. This includes financial risk, operational risk,
clinical risk, legal risk, human resources and also covers compliance and governance
issues that the organization has to adhere to.

industries across the globe, for many years. These customer's needs are as diverse as the
industries they come from, but they all have multiple Governance, Risk and Compliance
