At ARC Summit 2026, Sheba Medical Center demonstrated how its ADAMS Center turns clinical data into measurable improvements in healthcare delivery — reporting $4 million in financial impact in 2025.
“Sheba DAY | Insider!” at ARC Summit 2026 offered a firsthand look at how the hospital translates innovation into clinical practice. Among the initiatives showcased was Sheba’s ADAMS Center, which reported $4 million in additional revenue and cost savings in 2025, across 33 clinical service lines.
Presenting the results, Dr. Relly Burda, Project Manager at Sheba’s ADAMS Center, emphasized that data analysis is only the starting point. Real value emerges when clinical teams identify challenges, use data to develop solutions, implement changes and measure their impact.
When Nurses Become Data-Driven Innovators
Sheba’s “Nurse of the Future” program demonstrates the potential of extending data analytics beyond physicians to nursing professionals.
Twelve nurses launched data-driven projects. Within five months, eight had reached the measurement phase and four had progressed to implementing interventions, with an estimated revenue potential of $1.2 million.
One nurse identified a problem involving patients with pleural effusion, a condition in which fluid accumulates around the lungs. Instead of receiving follow-up care at the pulmonology clinic, patients repeatedly returned to the emergency department for fluid drainage.
Using clinical data, the project identified 915 affected patients and improved the referral pathway. According to Sheba, the intervention reduced related hospitalizations and generated $723,000 in direct revenue.
Bringing the Model to Europe
Sheba’s experience is relevant for European university hospitals, many of which have invested heavily in clinical data infrastructure but still struggle to turn data into measurable improvements in care and operations.
In September 2026, Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) announced that it would become the first university hospital in Germany and the European Union to introduce the ADAMS model.
“Sheba and Göttingen operate in different healthcare systems, yet face the same challenge: turning clinical data into tangible benefits for patients, healthcare professionals and hospitals,” said Armin Scheuer, MDClone’s Director for the DACH region. “Sheba demonstrates that the value of hospital data lies not in how much is collected or how sophisticated the technology is, but in how effectively data is translated into decisions, improvements and measurable outcomes.”

The ADAMS Center combines MDClone’s self-service analytics technology with a five-step continuous improvement cycle: Ask, Discover, Act, Measure and Share. Beyond technology, its success relies on clinical ownership, clear processes and dedicated support to translate insights into action.
