Newsweek Top 10 Hospital in the World 3 Years in a Row: Sheba Medical Center

Overview

Established in 1948, Sheba Medical Center, based in Ramat Gan, Israel, stands as the leading medical center in the Middle East and an internationally acclaimed healthcare facility. Boasting a comprehensive campus, Sheba hosts over 1,700 physicians engaged in cutting-edge research and is making significant contributions to global healthcare. With more than 2,000 beds, 90 research teams and 4,000 studies annually, Sheba serves as a tertiary care center, accepting complex cases from around the world and has been recognized as one of the top 10 hospitals for five years running by Newsweek.

Sheba’s Goals:

Determined to revolutionize global healthcare, Sheba’s skilled team aims to:

  • Improve operations
  • Enhance the quality of clinical care
  • Empower research
  • Strengthen cross-institutional collaboration
  • Facilitate life science partnerships.


In 2018, Sheba inaugurated the ARC Innovation Center, fostering collaboration among physicians, researchers, startups, industry leaders, academia, investors, and top-tier medical centers to redesign healthcare. ARC’s mission is to improve patient care, using innovation to provide real value to patients. 

“ARC is about creating an ecosystem that will change the future of medicine together. ARC is not about Sheba; it’s about coming together in a network that shares a common vision, shares the same strategy, and is able to drive proactively toward that common vision.”

— Eyal Zimlichman, MD, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Innovation Officer at Sheba Medical Center, Director and Founder of ARC Innovation.

MDClone Partnership

Facing data privacy challenges, Sheba sought a solution that would:

  • Liberate data: Overcome privacy restrictions and enable efficient access for clinicians and researchers
  • Ensure quick results: Bypass the complexity of involving IT staff for swift outcomes
  • Promote collaboration: Facilitate networking with organizations for collective problem-solving.

In addition to the challenges Sheba faced, Sheba’s ARC Innovation Hub aimed to further its innovation goals of:

  • Designing research and meeting regulatory standards
  • Retrieving and analyzing data to build predictive models and develop AI tools
  • Planning projects, including assisting with the hospital’s organization infrastructure and closing external contracts.

In 2017, Sheba partnered with MDClone, empowering them to access, analyze, and share data seamlessly.

s and 4,000 studies annually, Sheba serves as a tertiary care center, accepting complex cases from around the world and has been recognized as one of the top 10 hospitals for five years running by Newsweek.

Future Vision

Sheba has been able to learn from its data in real-time with MDClone’s ADAMS Platform. In the future, Sheba aims to employ rapid analysis of its data to instantaneously gain insights into patients’ diseases and make clinical decisions on the spot, transforming the way healthcare is delivered to patients.

“Imagine your clinical team is caring for a patient, and you remember a similar patient they treated last year, and he responded well to a certain therapy. Imagine if I could — with the click of a finger — see that I’ve already treated, in the past five years, 60 such patients, and 40 got better, 10 got worse, and 10 stayed the same. That kind of information goes a very long way toward making a better decision,”

— Eyal Zimlichman, MD, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Innovation Officer at Sheba Medical Center, Director and Founder of ARC Innovation.
