Insights Care, which is renowned for its in-depth coverage of healthcare, is proud to present Dr. Efrat Bron-Harlev, the innovative CEO of Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel. It’s an incubator for innovation in children’s medicine. Harlev, a medically trained pediatrician, is a physician who applies her medical expertise alongside creative management principles in order to bring the hospital’s vision into action. She practices care across the board, technological advancement, and interregional cooperation and strives to promote the well-being of children in the Middle East and globally.
Schneider Children’s Medical Center in Petah Tikva is Israel and the Middle East’s sole children’s tertiary hospital.
It has developed into a center for world collaboration, cutting-edge research, and excellent medical care. It is treating children across Israel and surrounding countries with the most excellent care and pediatric subspecialists in various domains.
Making a career switch to the healthcare management sector was spurred by Harlev’s realization that being a doctor was not merely a profession, but who she was. She realized that with the medical expertise she already possessed and adding managerial skills, she could reach out to more lives.
She has a particular debt to Shalit, former CEO of Schneider Children’s, who played a key part in defining her professional career. Shalit’s skill at traversing the complex ballet between caregivers, patients, and the healthcare system influenced Harlev’s own management style.
In order to enhance her management abilities, she earned a Master’s in management from Harvard Business School through the Wexner Foundation. This advanced training equipped her on how to manage a large medical center effectively.
Regardless of status or experience, Harlev’s leadership approach at Schneider Children’s Medical Center is one that values learning from everyone. “My leadership style is what I call it – flattening the pyramid. I’m certain that everybody has something to learn, no matter a title or experience, but rather the place origin from which they come,” she explains.
By empowering others, asking for different opinions, and involving all members of the staff in being heard and recognized, she has created an environment of imagination and collaboration. Through so doing, Schneider Children’s has taken the lead in pediatrics, innovating imaginative solutions to intricate medical challenges.
