HEALTHCARE the first public hospital in Israel to have fully computerised healthcare solutions from its launch date .
Assuta will also achieve another first . “ We ’ re going to be connected to one of the largest HMOs [ health maintenance organisations ] in Israel ,” Admon tells us . Assuta ’ s new hospital will be the first Israeli hospital to be digitally integrated with community health and welfare services . “ We ’ re going to give the patients the best medical treatment and customer service we can ,” Admon continues . “ When a discharged patient is in the community and he needs something from the hospital , everything will be held in a computerised way . When the patient comes to the hospital , we will already know everything we need to know about his medical history .” Similarly , Assuta will make sure that discharged patients have access to medical services within the community . For example , hospital staff might schedule an appointment with a physiotherapist via a digital interface , on behalf of the patient .
Assuta has already hired most of the staff needed for the new hospital . We ask Admon how he plans to train these employees in the hospital ’ s new IT system . “ We have built a training environment with all the systems that are going to operate in the new hospital ,” he answers . “ We hired a company in Israel that is expert at assimilating IT systems and has done such projects in other hospitals . Dozens of our own IT professionals are going to teach the staff how to use the systems .”
LEADERSHIP As for the person leading the digital transformation , Admon is certainly qualified for the job . He tells of his 15 + years ’ experience in healthcare IT , including a CTO role at Sheba Medical Centre – the largest hospital in the Middle East . Admon also has the zeal and optimism needed to carry Assuta ’ s new project through . “ I ’ m lucky because I ’ m the only CIO in Israel that has to face such a challenge ,” he says . “ Other healthcare CIOs don ’ t have to build a new hospital
