CASE STORY - PART II ------- We are on with the second part of story about our implementation to Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. This time it's more detailed, and tells about how we moved this medical center from 6 systems to one. All-in-one is one of the basic concepts of our software. We really thing, that using multiple solutions (sometimes over 30) only make your clinic way less efficient. If you have a software mess in your medical center or chain of clinics - that one is for you 😊 https://lnkd.in/eQM-tNK8

The recent AIsrael conference brought forward Israel’s status at the forefront of using artificial intelligence in healthcare, among other things. In her article for CTech by Calcalist , Maya Nahum Shahal focuses particularly on the application of artificial intelligence in mental health. At the panel on the impact of AI on the field of medicine, Prof. Eyal Zimlichman, MD from Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer discussed how they are using AI to significantly increase the capacity to treat many wounded people who will need mental health rehabilitation, following the October 7th events. One examples for using AI in mental healthcare is developing an avatar with Microsoft and KPMG that conducts full conversations with each post-trauma victim to diagnose them with 94% accuracy compared to a psychiatrist. Prof. Ran Balicer, Chief Innovation Officer at Clalit Health Services, states that after the coronavirus pandemic, there was a change in perception among many people about the importance of dedicating the next decade to artificial intelligence in health, similar to the focus on cybersecurity in the past decade.

I read today an article (https://lnkd.in/d_YRry27) in Calcalist כלכליסט, an Israeli business journal, addressing a troubling issue: the persistent challenges in integrating women into leading managerial roles. The article draws from Deliotte Haskins & Sells’s recent paper, revealing that female representation in leading companies remains alarmingly low, hovering around 25%. In an age of equality and progress, one would hope for more significant strides after years of discussion and legislation on this topic. How do we dismantle this glass ceiling? Past laws seemed promising, but it's evident that greater regulatory efforts are needed. Ensuring higher equality in publicly traded companies should be a priority, supported by investors who recognize the value of diverse leadership. Let's be clear: advocating for women in managerial roles isn't about tokenism. It's about recognizing talent and experience, regardless of gender. My limited personal experience has shown me that fostering diverse leadership, with more than 50% women managers, can be challenging to built, yet it proves to be crucial for the organization's success. This is a principle that I am committed to in any company I am involved with. Unfortunately, outdated perceptions persist, often favoring male CEOs over their equally qualified female counterparts. I firmly believe that diversity drives success in organizations. It's not just a matter of doing what's right; it's essential for growth and prosperity. According to the article, if we fail to act decisively, we could be waiting another 90 years to achieve gender equality in Israel.

LINKEDIN: "The only way out of the current crisis and stagnation is through a regional approach." On June 19, 2024, ROPES Executive Director Ksenia Svetlova spoke at the annual @[Tel Aviv University]'s conference #FutureOfIsrael with [@Ohad Hemo] and [@Michael Milshtein] about the Influence of the #IsraelHamasWar and the tragic events of October 7 on the wider #MiddleEast. Here are her 5 main takeaways that we think are most important for you to know: 1. The only way out of the current crisis and stagnation is through a regional approach. 2. Arab countries that gave a Triple No and declined peace in #1967 are now taking the opposite approach. Israel must move closer to these countries. 3. Since the beginning of the war, not one country has abolished their peace treaty with #Israel. "The treaties are still standing strong but are jeopardized every single day by the continuation of the war," Svetlova explained. 4. Israel will only be safe when it has peace with its neighbors, both close and distant. For example, right now Israel's only safe boarders are with the Arab countries it has signed peace agreements: Jordan and Egypt. 5. An alliance with regional moderates provides security and is the only answer to #radicalism & #extremism on both sides.
