Home care provider Silverchain partners with Sheba
The partnership between Silverchain and Sheba will pioneer new models of home care, leveraging digital technologies to deliver complex health care services.
Australia’s leading provider of complete and complex home care Silverchain has partnered with Sheba Beyond, one of the world’s first virtual hospitals, in a collaboration that is set to accelerate digital health innovation in home care.
Silverchain’s memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Sheba Fund for Health Services and Research will also be led by Sheba’s ARC Centre for Innovation, which is at the forefront of global health care collaboration. The ARC (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate) Centre is based at the Sheba Medical Centre, which is ranked one of the top 10 hospitals in the world.
The partnership between Silverchain and Sheba will pioneer new models of home care, leveraging digital technologies to deliver complex health care services.
Professor Eyal Zimlichman, Sheba’s chief innovation and transformation officer, and founder and director of ARC at Sheba Medical Centre, said he was profoundly excited about the partnership.
“The ARC Centre is at the heart of our efforts to transform healthcare. Our vision with Silverchain goes beyond mere collaboration; we are collectively forging a path for transformation,” he said.
“Together, we’re striving to drive growth and drastically improve the way care is delivered to homes across Australia.
“In this collaboration, the ARC Centre could work hand in hand with Silverchain to create cutting-edge decision-support tools, co-develop new platforms or devices and even conduct joint research related to forward-thinking topics, such as smart homes.
“I believe that our joint efforts can create a new standard of care that meets the diverse needs of individuals and communities across Australia. This partnership is a crucial step in turning that belief into reality.”
Silverchain chief executive Dale Fisher said the MoU marked a significant milestone in international knowledge exchange in the health care and aged care fields.
“Not only does this MoU unite three outstanding entities – Silverchain, Sheba Beyond and Sheba’s ARC Centre – it is also the first time a Sheba MoU in Australia has involved Sheba Beyond and we’re inspired to be a part of a collaboration of this calibre,” she said.
“With Silverchain’s wealth of experience in complex health and aged care in the home, together with Sheba’s accelerated approach to digitally enabled care, this partnership is linking the best minds in the care sector to deliver the future of home care.
“Through this joint initiative, Silverchain will have the opportunity to benefit from Sheba’s expertise and experience, further enhancing the standards and capabilities in home care for the 115,000 Australians we care for each year. Ultimately, our partnership is set to improve home care access for all Australians, enhancing care outcomes and enriching the patient experience through digital innovation.”
