The King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU) in Khobar , Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is affiliated to Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (Formerly called University of Dammam , which was previously a part of King Faisal University ). It was founded in 1981 (1401H) under the 'Five Hospitals Project' and was inaugurated by then Minister for Health, Dr. Hussain Al Jazairy . The hospital's main purpose is the training of students during their clinical years. It has a 440-bed capacity distributed in a four-floor building. Each floor has different wards and serves a different category of patients. When The hospital was established the main goal was to provide three services:
2-412: The hospital uses a computerized system. It includes only the clinical services while the administrative services use another application. QuadraMed is divided into three subsystems: prod, dev, and train. Prod refers to production which is the main "real system" that users deal with directly. Dev refers to development which is used to develop new requirements then test them to make sure they work well. Dev
4-414: Is used to prevent excess work load on the main system "Prod". Every two months after testing the new applications they are transferred from "dev" to "prod". The last subsystem is "train", used to train staff and student usually in the skill lab. The hospital administrative application is not integrated with QuadraMed. They use their own visual basic applications created by IT team in the hospital. At KFHU
