Leading the Next Era of Saudi Healthcare Digital Transformation

An exclusive interview with Eng Abdulhameed Attar, the CEO of Balsam United Company (OASIS Systems)

Saudi Arabia is witnessing one of the fastest healthcare transformations in the world, driven by Vision 2030, digital health strategies, NPHIES, value-based care, and the demand for integrated, data-driven healthcare ecosystems.

With over 35 years of experience, OASIS Systems has been at the heart of this journey – empowering more than 100 hospitals across the Kingdom with innovative, reliable, and scalable health information solutions.

In this exclusive interview, Eng Abdulhameed Attar, CEO, shares his perspective on the future of healthcare IT, key challenges facing providers, and how local innovation and strong partnerships are shaping a healthier future.

1. Saudi Arabia is rapidly transforming its healthcare sector. How do you see the future of healthcare IT evolving in the Kingdom?
   
   We are entering a new era where healthcare will be more con­nected, intelligent, and patient-centric. The future lies in unified digital ecosystems, real-time data, AI-powered insights, and seamless interop­erability. Saudi Arabia is building a strong foundation for a world-class digital healthcare model.
   
   
2. Many organizations have implemented HIS systems, yet operational challenges remain. What is missing today?
   
   Technology alone is not enough. Most providers struggle with change management, data quality, and fragmentation across HIS, RCM, and ERP systems never designed to work together. This is exactly the gap OASIS closes — one integrated platform, one data model, one source of truth.
   
   
3. How are AI, interoperability, cloud, and patient engagement reshaping operations?
   
   They are turning data into decisions at the point of care. At OASIS, AI is being em­bedded across clinical, RCM, and ERP work­flows — predicting claim denials, automating coding, flagging high-risk patients, and giving leadership real-time intelligence. Combined with our 70+ integrations across NPHIES, in­surers, devices, labs, and patient channels, this is healthcare AI applied at scale.
   
   
4. What are the biggest challenges in digital transformation?
   
   User adoption, legacy systems, integra­tion complexity, cybersecurity, and ROI mea­surement. Success requires the right partner. OASIS delivers local implementation teams, 24/7 in-Kingdom support, and a proven track record across 100+ hospitals — customers are never alone, and never dependent on a vendor thousands of kilometres away.
   
   
5. What differentiates OASIS Systems in the Saudi healthcare technology market?
   
   OASIS Systems is among the few re­gional healthcare platforms offering fully integrated HIS, ERP, and RCM solutions within one unified ecosystem. Through OASIS+ for Hospitals and OASIS Care for PHCs and Clinics, the platform deliv­ers more than 63 integrated modules de­signed to support connected, scalable, and intelligent healthcare operations aligned with Vision 2030 objectives.
   We look forward to welcoming you at Glob­al Health Exhibition 2026 – Booth H2A.C30 – to explore our latest innovations in digital healthcare transformation, AI, interoperabil­ity, and patient-centered solutions.
   
   
6. OASIS has operated in the Saudi mar­ket for more than 35 years. What lessons have you learned from supporting both government and private sectors?
   
   Every organization is unique. Flex­ibility and listening to customers built our platform: 60+ clinical, administrative, fi­nancial, and analytical modules, and 70+ active integrations. We did not adapt to Saudi healthcare from the outside — we grew with it from the inside.
   
   
7. How important is Revenue Cycle Man­agement (RCM) in the future sustainabil­ity of healthcare organizations?
   
   RCM is the financial nervous sys­tem of every provider, especially as the Kingdom moves toward value-based care. OASIS RCM is built natively inside our HIS and ERP — not bolted on. Clinical entry, eligibility, claims, and GL posting happen on one record. The result: fewer denials, faster cash, real-time financial transparency.
   
   
8. What role should Saudi healthcare technology companies play in supporting Vision 2030?
   
   Local companies play a vital role in building national capabilities, driving in­novation, ensuring data sovereignty, and creating sustainable solutions tailored to our market. We must collaborate, innovate, and empower the healthcare ecosystem.
   
   
9. What is the next strategic chapter for OASIS?
   
   Scale Oasis+ for hospitals and Oasis Care for PHCs, polyclinics, and day sur­gery centers, deepen embedded AI across HIS/RCM/ERP, expand multi-tenant SaaS capabilities, and continue regional expansion.
