Our Obligations
Based on the vision and mission of KFSH&RC, and in order to achieve the objectives of its portal, we seek to provide the best possible services to the portal users, including citizens, residents and visitors, as well as the business sector. To recognize what the portal will do to achieve these objectives, we have identified the obligations of the portal as follows:
Help and Support: The portal includes channels for assisting and supporting its visitors. These channels meet the needs of the largest number of the portal’s visitors; they provide readable texts and video files for some e-services. The Help and Support Department provides detailed information and links to a number of forms of assistance including Frequently Asked Questions, “Contact Us” page, and mobile applications for patients’
Privacy and Confidentiality of Information: KFSH&RC ensures the confidentiality of the information of its users and visitors. The portal administration makes every effort to provide high quality services to all beneficiaries.
Providing Mechanisms of Communication and Participation: The portal administration is committed to providing various mechanisms for communication with clients to ensure the quality of services provided via the portal through the “Contact Us” page as well as allowing participation through the social networks and the surveys.
Specific Mechanisms for Dealing with Complaints and General Inquiries: KFSHRC Provides a system that automatically connects the complaints and inquiries received via the available communication channels with the concerned departments. This ensures the message is submitted to the concerned authority as soon as possible and it is being followed up until it is replied to. It takes 10 working days to respond to these messages. This period varies according to the subject. In the case of delayed
response, the message is automatically escalated. The system sends text messages to the e-mail via the mobile phone (after activating the service). Once the concerned department has responded to the message, it will be closed by the employee.
Standards on Comments and E-Participation
All comments posted to the e-participation channels are subjected to a review process • in order to make sure all users have observed the standards and regulations relating to comments posting. The hospital has the power to exclude any comments deemed inappropriate based on these standards. Standards of comments posting include the following:
• The user shall observe public morals and avoid any inappropriate phrases or filthy words.
• The comment shall be relevant, focused on the subject under discussion and shall not deviate from the subject in any manner.
• To avoid making any personal criticism that does not enrich the idea being posted and discussed.
