KPJ Healthcare Berhad has announced a collaboration with Mayo Clinic through its two specialist hospitals; KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital and Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 marking the first entry into the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
KPJ President Chin Keat Chyuan said, “Today is indeed a historic moment for KPJ as we become the first and only healthcare provider in Malaysia to become a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, through our two hospitals: KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital and Damansara Specialist Hospital 2. This signifies a major leap for us towards healthcare excellence as we continuously find innovative ways to serve our patients better.
The healthcare group plans to leverage Mayo Clinic’s solid experience, extensive resources and best practices to elevate its own healthcare expertise and skills. Chin says the collaboration will not only improve patients’ outcomes but also contribute to the nation.
Representing Mayo Clinic., Dr. Stacey Rizza, M.D. added that membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network opens up a world of advanced clinical tools and services for KPJ DSH and DSH2, elevating medical care and professional development to new heights.
Among the array of benefits, KPJ DSH and DSH2 gain access to AskMayoExpert, a point-of-care tool delivering concise clinical insights on a vast range of medical conditions. Additionally, eBoards, live and scheduled video conferences, facilitate collaboration among medical teams at both hospitals, allowing them to delve into intricate cases alongside a Mayo Clinic multidisciplinary panel and fellow doctors within the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
KPJ said access to Mayo’s Health Care Consulting offers both hospitals a wealth of expertise, knowledge, and subspecialty insights to achieve clinical, operational, and business objectives effectively.
In addition to these resources, medical professionals will have the opportunity to tap into Mayo Clinic’s vast library of patient education materials and participate in continuous medical education and professional development activities. These opportunities further enhance the quality of care and services provided to patients.
Since its inception in 2011, the Mayo Clinic Care Network has expanded to include over 45 member organisations spanning the United States, Asia, India, Mexico, and the Middle East, fostering collaboration and excellence in healthcare on a global scale.
