Advancing Patient Safety Through Innovation

Healthcare systems worldwide recognize an ongoing challenge: adverse safety incidents and near-miss events can impact patient outcomes and costs. While reporting and analyzing these events is critical for continuous improvement, traditional manual processes make it difficult to capture comprehensive safety data in real time. Studies suggest that up to 92% of adverse events go unreported using conventional methods, limiting healthcare organizations’ ability to identify patterns and prevent future incidents proactively.

The barriers are systemic rather than clinical: manual reporting requires significant time and administrative effort, creating documentation burdens that compete with direct patient care. When incident data remains incomplete, even the most dedicated healthcare teams lack the insights needed to address emerging risks before they affect patients.

Sheba is transforming this paradigm through its partnership with Shamaym’s AI-powered Medinsight platform. The collaboration embeds generative AI directly into clinical workflows to enhance safety monitoring across key areas, including surgical procedures, medication administration, diagnostic processes, and medical device utilization. By automating incident detection and analysis, the technology supports clinical teams in identifying potential risks earlier while enabling them to focus on direct patient care.

Medinsight.ai: Real-Time Insights and Seamless Workflow

Co-developed by Shamaym and Sheba, Medinsight.ai scans records instantly to detect anomalies, alert teams, classify events, and deliver leadership dashboards with actionable plans, managing incidents end-to-end without workflow disruption. It eases clinician burdens by automating routine tasks, amplifying expertise where it counts.

Prof. Eyal Zimlichman, Chief Transformation, Innovation and AI Officer at Sheba Medical Center and Director of ARC, states: “As part of Sheba’s AI revolution, our goal is to develop and deploy data- and AI-driven tools that enable safer, higher-quality, patient-centered care, while meaningfully easing the burden on clinical teams.” He highlights the Shamaym collaboration as “real breakthrough in improving care quality and patient safety, reducing staff workload and burnout. The ability to automatically detect and classify safety events strengthens our capacity to learn, improve, and prevent patient harm,” —confident that these systems will soon become standard in Israel and globally.

Proven Results Empower Global Scale

The pilot’s 95% accuracy and 6x detection increase confirm Medinsight.ai’s reliability at Sheba, seamlessly blending the expertise of Israel’s top physicians and medical teams with AI infrastructure for unparalleled patient protection in even the most complex cases. The system provides continuous visibility into each event’s status, enabling safer, more informed care: embedded AI independently identifies abnormal events and alerts relevant teams, then, once a physician or nurse confirms, it automatically routes, tags, categorizes, and processes incidents while generating tailored action frameworks for swift resolution.

This proven performance underscores the strength of the Sheba-Shamaym partnership. As Shamaym CEO Ofir Paldi states: “We are proud to deepen our collaboration with Sheba, one of the most innovative medical centers in the world, and to continue developing Medinsight as a platform that is reshaping how healthcare systems address patient safety. This renewed agreement reflects trust, a shared vision, and the creation of real, mutual value.”
