HIMSS Europe - World of Health IT was held on May 13th - 15th, 2013 in Dublin, Ireland. At the event, Ankara Gazi Mustafa Kemal Public Hospital was accredited with HIMSS Europe Analytics EMRAM Stage 6. As stated on the website; http://www.ehealthnews.eu/ it was the first and only Stage 6 hospital in Turkey.

            In Awards Dinner Ceremony sponsored by Sisoft, Epic and TPP in Dublin, Ünal Hülür, MD, Head of e-Health Department at MOH, received the Award on behalf of MOH and Gazi Hospital from HIMSS Europe Analytics Director; Uwe Buddrus and Claus Duedal Pedersen, Odense University Hospital. Unal Hulur expressed his gratefulness to Gazi Hospital Managers & Directors and also to Sisoft, HIS company for all the efforts performed during HIMSS AE evaluation process.

            Uwe Buddrus stated that they realized better why MOH calls Ankara Gazi Hospital as Digital & Paperless Hospital by saying "All central EMR components are from Sisoft and fully integrated. We can testify that the hospital is highly automated and has reached a very high level of functional scope and integration of the information systems. Ankara Gazi MKDH has mandated CPOE use and physician documentation, resulting in virtually all orders being placed electronically and about 85% of documentation data being captured in structured format. Most outstanding is their Closed Loop Medication Administration process, which encompasses a complete set of ePrescribing Clinical Decision Support interactions, mandated 100% 2nd line validation by pharmacists, and bedside medication administration documentation in dedicated iPads in the eMAR on care wards. In two wards, bar code scanning of patient and medication is live and operational and planned to be rolled out to the remaining wards. A comprehensive clinical decision support system is in ongoing implementation, but there are several alerts, pop-ups and protocol guidance support examples for a number of most frequent diagnosis, e.g. as demonstrated live and online for diabetes".

            Republic of Turkey Dublin Ambassador Necip Egüz honoured Sisoft by visiting its booth during the event.
