EXPERIENCE IN ACADEMIC HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION.

• Since joining Hadassah in 2000 I have been a senior physician in the Department of Geriatrics and Rehabilitation. My duties included the medical responsibility for different wards, including Geriatric Rehabilitation, Sub-acute care, Hospice, Home Hospice, Long- term complicated care, and the Geriatric Emergency Room.
• In addition to the medical management of these wards, the administrative duties have included the management and orchestration of multidisciplinary teams, demanding close cooperation of nursing staff, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, and social workers.

SERVICE IN OTHER ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS

Experience in Community Geriatric Administration

• On completing my specialization in Geriatric Medicine in 1998, I became consultant geriatrician in a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment clinic, and subsequently became the Medical Director of the Jerusalem Home Hospital and Home-Care Unit, both of which are divisions of the Institute for Geriatric Medicine, Clalit Health Services, Jerusalem District. The Home Hospital is an innovative and unique service providing intensive comprehensive medical care at home to 300 patients simultaneously, as an alternative to in-patient medical, geriatric, or hospice care. Management of this model of community-based health care has required the planning, coordination and administration of a large multidisciplinary team of health professionals, utilization and maintenance of considerable logistic backup, as well as financial accountability to the Jerusalem Directorate within the Clalit Health Services.
• During the years of 2000-2004 I served as the Acting Regional Geriatrician and the Director of the Institute of Geriatric Medicine.
• Since 2006 I have been a member of several National Advisory Committees at the Clalit Health Service Central Office. Working topics and areas of interest have included the definition, implementation and follow-up several areas of Geriatric care
