Challenge: Addressing the current gap of subjective, superficial evaluation of lung nodules detected in CT scans to improve diagnostic capabilities and necessary follow-up for better clinical outcomes, treatment customization, and reduction of both over-diagnosis and missed findings.

​

Solution: AI-powered decision support software for comprehensive characterization of pulmonary nodules, comparison with previous examinations, and enhanced diagnostic accuracy.

​

Partners: BINOMIX AI, Carmel Medical Imaging Department.

​

Impact: Improved clinical outcomes through more accurate and consistent nodule assessment.

Status: Pre-pilot phase.

Challenge: Manual management by treating hematologists involving phone communication for patient readiness verification for clinic visits, side effect reporting, and navigation between separate hospital and community medical records.

Solution: A unified digital workspace with targeted automations and alerts that reduces manual staff workload while providing transparency and accessibility for all care team members across both hospital and community settings.

Partners: DATOS, Clalit Health Services Digital & Information Systems Division, Clalit Haifa District, Hematology-Oncology Department, Carmel Service Unit.

Impact: Optimizes clinician time, ensures patient readiness for visits,  identifies patients requiring intervention for side effects, and enhances hospital-community continuity of care.

Status: Iterative development phase.

Challenge: Inefficient communication between consulting and consulted departments resulted in wasted time, lack of end-to-end tracking of medical consultations, and extended response wait times.

​

Solution: An integrated platform featuring a dashboard for consulting departments and a mobile application for consultant physicians.

The system automatically connects consultation requests with relevant consultants through EMR integration, replacing telephone communication with quiet digital communication.

​

Partners: MAKESHET company, Carmel Emergency Department leadership, and consulting department stakeholders.

​

Impact: Enables bidirectional, quiet and efficient communication while centralizing relevant information tailored to each party's needs and improving consultant arrival timing.

​

Status: Pre-implementation phase.

Challenge: Implementing post-discharge medical recommendations with minimal patient effort to increase treatment adherence among patients leaving hospitalization.

Solution: A digital discharge system transforming traditional doctor-written documents into accessible digital formats for both primary care physicians and patients. 
The system enables seamless transfer of recommendations to primary care physicians while providing patients with a dedicated online interface that will eventually facilitate immediate appointment scheduling and action steps.

Partners: Cross-divisional collaboration between Carmel Hospital, Haifa District, Hospital Division, Community Division, Medical Applications Department and Digital Department. 

Impact: Implementation across 13 Carmel departments shows 5.2% increase in patient understanding of post-discharge care requirements, 14% reduction in ER visits and 20% decrease in hospitalizations during six months post-discharge compared to non-digital discharge patients.

Status: Being deployed across all 14 Clalit hospitals with future plans for mobile app integration, appointment scheduling assistance, medication management, and language accessibility improvements.
