Sheba Beyond: Revolutionizing Virtual Healthcare in Israel
Sheba Beyond, Israel’s pioneering virtual hospital, has redefined the delivery of medical services by offering human-centered healthcare from the comfort of patients’ homes. With an innovative virtual care model and cutting-edge technologies, Sheba Beyond has set new standards in patient care.
The Challenge
One of the major challenges faced by Sheba Medical Center before integrating advanced data tools was the inefficiency of traditional methods for gathering and analyzing patient information. Decision-making relied on fragmented data across multiple systems, hindering a holistic view of patient care and timely interventions.
Accessing and processing data took weeks or even months, impacting critical care and chronic disease management. Clinicians lacked actionable insights due to complex tools, creating bottlenecks and limiting innovation.
Proposal
Sheba Medical Center proposed a self-service data platform to streamline access to information and empower clinicians. The platform aimed to break down data silos, centralize patient information, enable real-time data access, and foster a culture of innovation through user-friendly interfaces and training programs.
Meeting the Challenge
The implementation of the Adams Center platform transformed data utilization at Sheba Medical Center, integrating seamlessly with existing systems and supporting innovative healthcare solutions at Sheba Beyond. The platform facilitated remote patient monitoring, reduced hospitalization needs, and improved patient experiences through hybrid care models.
- High feasibility and satisfaction: 97.4% success rate in remote visits.
- Time efficiency: Reduced visit durations from 159 to 59 minutes.
- Improved adherence: Increased glucose monitoring adherence from 62% to 92%.
Results
The Adams Center platform significantly reduced time to insights, improved patient outcomes, and enhanced operational efficiency at Sheba Medical Center. Data-driven care models led to better decision-making, reduced unnecessary procedures, and optimized resource allocation.
Advice for Others
Healthcare organizations looking to leverage data for patient outcomes should define clear goals, prioritize user empowerment, and foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. The right technology, empowered users, and a commitment to improvement are key to success in data-driven healthcare.
