Overview
The Dubai Health Authority regulates and accredits healthcare facilities in the Emirate of Dubai, and DHA-16, Version 3.1, sets the requirements for licensed day surgery and ambulatory surgical centres. Its weight falls on same-day surgical care: thorough pre-operative assessment and patient selection, safe anaesthesia and sedation practice, structured post-anaesthesia recovery in the PACU, and criteria-based discharge. Around that pathway it also governs surgical safety, infection prevention and sterilisation, medication management, consent, emergency and transfer arrangements, facility and equipment readiness, and staff credentialing.
The documentation follows the same pathway in order. Consent is taken in two steps, at pre-operative assessment and again on the day of surgery, and recovery is scored on an Aldrete or PARSDH discharge scoring form before a home-readiness check. Interpretive guidance covers centre classification and permitted procedures, ASA physical status and patient selection, and the sedation continuum with rescue. Daily control comes from the surgical safety checklist, theatre register, narcotic log, crash cart and fire safety checks, credentialing files, risk register and quarterly KPI report, all editable to a centre's own service lines.
What this system covers
- Pre-operative assessment and patient selection, including ASA physical status and centre classification limits
- Sedation and anaesthesia management across the sedation continuum, with rescue capability
- Post-anaesthesia monitoring, recovery scoring, criteria-based discharge and discharge against medical advice
- Surgical safety and day-of-surgery patient verification, through to theatre register entries
- Medication management and pharmacy services, including narcotic and controlled drug custody
- Infection prevention, sterilisation, daily facility readiness and fire and life safety
- Staff credentialing, privileging and competency evidence held on file
- Incident and adverse event reporting, administrative reporting to DHA, clinical audit and KPI review
Who it's for
Medical directors, theatre managers and quality leads at day surgery and ambulatory surgical centres in Dubai, most often approaching a DHA inspection, an accreditation survey or the opening of a new centre. They gain audit-ready evidence across the perioperative pathway, and one consistent way of running consent, sedation, recovery and discharge on every list.
