Patient Safety & Quality In a recent NBR broadcast, Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic was asked “…What do you think is the most important issue facing other hospitals as they adapt to the new health care law?” “…Clearly we're going to see more patients and so I think one of the important things for the country …we need to become more efficient. And in order to do that, we need to measure quality,as well as measuring costs, so we get maximum value for our health care spending. We also have got to be very concerned about our efficiency and driving down costs and we need to have hospitals collaborate with hospitals, so you come together as a system, so you don't repeat technology and back office sorts of things. We need to have doctors coordinate with hospitals to drive the efficiency of the hospitals…” F.O. Specialized Clinics - 10 - 10

…which has start already • …. represented in different ways in hospital projects in Jordan, UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other countries as well. • HDH is developing such complex centre for specialized surgery in a Boutique style ( 100 beds; Centre for Orthopedics, Heart Centre, Centre for Esthetic & Reconstructive Surgery ) through participation of major healthcare stakeholders , physician partnerships and external healthcare provider as operator. • We believe that such projects will not be only “ add on “ complementary facilities to existing market structures – but they will become the major drivers for medical quality and financially efficiency in this market.

Two questions & two short answers Specialized care in rural areas Will not be sufficient Taking specialty care to previously neglected rural areas To increase density of primary care centre in rural areas incl. the opportunities of seamless reference of patients to specialized centre in urban areas . Also E-Health will not bring the break through for better care in these areas Will be a side effect only Easing the “ burden “ Providing more cost effective services and easing the burden on larger hospitals This will be a side effect but can not be the primary goal. It is a open discussion under healthcare experts that the “ traditional GENERAL HOSPITALS “ are in longer range “ running out models “ cuase lack of specialized care, medical quality, flexibility and financial efficiency .
