Sheba Proms
Patient Reported
Outcome Measures
Another milestone in Sheba’s transparency revolution, providing accurate and updated figures on patient care.
At the forefront of the transparency revolution is our commitment to a patient-centric perspective. The aim is to offer patients genuine insights to the degree to which we have realized our care and service objectives, in addition to the annual publications by the Ministry of Health.
Sheba Medical Center marks a milestone in Israel by unveiling treatment success figures reported directly by patients. Employing PROMS (Patient Reported Outcome Measures), the data relies on patient feedback, utilizing scientifically validated measures to assess treatment success rates. The disclosure of PROMS marks another stride in the transparency revolution established in 2018, when we exclusively unveiled Sheba’s Care and Service Quality Measures, which were grounded in comprehensive hospitalization data.
Empowering Patients
through Data Transparency
The questionnaires are globally recognized, scientifically validated, and tailored for various conditions. They were administered routinely before and after each medical procedure. The data undergoes MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) statistical analysis, capturing the smallest quantitative change deemed clinically significant. This threshold ensures that any change below it may be attributed to coincidence or a measurement error.
We take pride in being the pioneering hospital in Israel to engage our patients and the public in these results. We encourage other hospitals to adopt a similar approach, empowering you to make informed decisions about the treatment that suits you best.
We will begin by sharing the outcomes of our cataract and cardiac catheterization procedures at Sheba. Following that, we’ll provide results from various other medical fields.
Selected Outcomes
Hip Replacement Outcomes
In recent years, the landscape of medical procedures has seen a notable rise in the frequency of joint replacement surgeries, particularly in Israel. With an annual count surpassing 6,000 procedures, hip replacement surgery stands out as a crucial intervention for...
Knee Replacement Outcomes
In recent years, the prevalence of joint replacement surgeries, particularly knee replacements, has surged, with over 6,000 procedures performed annually in Israel alone. Knee replacement surgery aims to mitigate or eliminate pain caused by cartilage wear and tear...
Cataract Surgery Outcomes
Cataract – characterized by lens opacification, remains a prominent cause of blindness worldwide. The sole remedy for cataracts involves surgical removal and replacement of the opaque lens.
Cardiac Catheterization Outcomes
The primary contributor to death and morbidity in Israel and the western world are heart attacks. In the last few decades, the treatment of heart attacks has seen a substantial improvement. This is perhaps most evident in our understanding of the utilization of early catheterization and an improved quality in drugs.
