Master Plan For Expansion of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (HIAE)The new building will house doctor’s consulting rooms, the outpatient clinic, and the Department of Diagnostic & Preventive Medicine. The birth of Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein resulted from the Jewish community’s commitment to offering the Brazilian people a center of excellence in medical practice and healthcare. Our incessant development since then has been driven by innovation and grounded in the Jewish values of Refuah (Health), Tsedakah (Social Justice), Chinuch (Education) and Mitzvot (Good Deeds). The choice of a site in the neighborhood of Morumbi, in the southern part of São Paulo, coincided with stimulation of the city’s growth. The option for technology in the initial stages triggered a cycle of process enhancement that culminated in the modern concept of medical intelligence. Formalization of quality was central to the next stage which, like previous cycles, featured a paradigmatic initiative. Today we live and work in an environment of intense knowledge generation that constitutes a clear differential in a globalized and highly competitive scenario. None of this would be possible without the commitment and determination of all those who preceded us. Above all, they were visionaries who believed in an idea, rose to the challenges in a profoundly ethical spirit, and paved the way to development with passion. Our Hospital has grown, and thanks to this growth we are obliged to rise to new challenges every day. Our patients come to us with the desire to be treated here. A significant group of competent physicians sees the institution as offering the most secure conditions for the provision of sound healthcare. These are the drivers of our present plan to expand our facilities. In the coming years we will increase capacity from 485 to 700 beds. We will increase the number of operating rooms and the number and size of our consulting rooms, so as to offer physical conditions that favor agile, efficient, effective, safe and patient-focused medicine. We are well aware that physical support, married to human capabilities, is a fundamental element of process design. To this end, we have visited advanced centers and consulted accreditation institutions as well as maintaining exchange programs with international centers, references in the field of healthcare systems. The fact is that this challenge instills a new spirit into our history, imbued from its inception with visionary energy. Medicine will continue to undergo profound changes for the foreseeable future, changes that transcend the barriers of management and demand from us the ability to innovate and create. It has always been thus. The Einstein has always responded and will continue to respond in the same way: with hard work and dedication. The expansion plan adopted by our institution is driven by these propositions. We hope to count on the support that has been a longstanding tradition and hallmark of our history.
