Muashir – Abu Dhabi Healthcare Quality Index
Contributing to its vision of a Healthier Abu Dhabi, the Department of Health launched Muashir – Abu Dhabi Healthcare Quality Index in 2018. Muashir is a unique, comprehensive and reliable quality framework that came as an evolvement from the Jawda programme, which was first launched in 2014.
Muashir promotes sustainability, effectiveness of care, transparency, accountability, and enhancing patient experience. The development of the framework was based on innovation, patient centricity and providers engagement.

Muashir Dimensions
Muashir consists of multiple dimensions that were added since its establishment to cover
the quality domains identified globally.
DoH will classify distinguished healthcare facilities according to the Diamonds Rating System based on mathematical and statistical equations that calculate the performance of hospitals according to several levels and classify them into five categories. This classification will be issued annually.
Distinguished facilities will receive a classification from one to five diamonds. A single diamond denotes “good”, two diamonds is “very good”, three diamonds is “excellent”, four diamonds is "exceptional" and five diamonds is "outstanding"
