We continue to lead in all metrics and categories: Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofeh) was declared outstanding in the Ministry of Health's 2018 incentive model in the field of emergency medicine center - general emergency - among the largest medical centers in Israel with over 90,000 visits per year.
The components of the model included, among other things, shortening the waiting time until triage, shortening the waiting time until a decision is made on hospitalization or discharge, as well as until the time of hospitalization in the ward if so decided, promoting computer programs, encouraging the operation of a system for the benefit of the patient, and more.
The hospital management says that winning first place in the competition is further evidence of Shamir being the leading professional medical center in the country.
""Thank you to the medical and nursing teams, the administrative staff, and our auxiliary forces at the MLRD who work day and night to provide excellent professional and human medical response, despite the workload and difficulties," the hospital management emphasizes.
And if we're talking about professionalism, it's impossible not to mention the amazing statistic that places Shamir Medical Center in first place in the world (!) in terms of the small percentage of births that are performed by autopsy, according to the following calculation:
The State of Israel has the lowest average percentage of neonatal surgeries: 20-22%.
The maternity ward at Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofeh) has low autopsy rates even compared to the national average, with only 181% of autopsy performed. In fact, the maternity ward at Shamir ranks first among other hospitals in the country in the percentage of natural births, and given that Israel is the world leader in the field, the maternity ward at Shamir ranks first in the world (!) in natural births.
In parallel with uncompromising professionalism, the medical center continues to revolutionize the service and personal attention provided to those who come through its doors.
For example, this week, a special stand, "Pinokia," was inaugurated in the maternity ward, where mothers are offered luxurious ice creams, desirable pastries, natural juices, and more - with the preparation taking place on the spot.
The department's management explains that, in addition to the culinary pleasure of the fine products, their method of preparation is intended to impart a sense of homeliness and authenticity for the benefit of the hospitalized patients, who enjoy uncompromising quality and investment and are not forced to compromise on the "commercial and industrial lifestyle" found in other places.
