The Jiménez Díaz Foundation (FJD), one of the leading hospitals in the Community of Madrid, is at the forefront of healthcare management and innovation. In a recent interview with Medical Gazette, Javier Arcos, manager of FJD, delved into the keys to achieving excellence in health management, the latest advances in research and treatments, and the challenges facing the National Health System (SNS).
With a legacy dating back nearly 80 years, FJD continues to uphold its values of combining healthcare, teaching, and research while striving for continuous improvement and innovation. Javier Arcos emphasized the importance of a well-defined mission, vision, and values as the cornerstone of a solid corporate culture essential for achieving excellence in health management.
The hospital has been a regular recipient of BiC Awards, which serve as a platform for comparing and analyzing areas for improvement. Participation in such initiatives is aligned with FJD’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement for the benefit of patients and healthcare professionals.
FJD is dedicated to advancing patient care through clinical and organizational innovations, including value-based medicine, new technologies, and initiatives for promoting healthy lifestyles and early diagnosis. The hospital is also at the forefront of research, with cutting-edge projects in various therapeutic areas and the integration of digital tools and Big Data in healthcare.
As the population ages and healthcare needs become more complex, FJD is adapting by harnessing digital tools, innovation, and Big Data to enhance patient care and maintain the sustainability of the healthcare system. Collaboration with other healthcare centers and a focus on the continuous education and training of healthcare professionals are key strategies for navigating these challenges.
Furthermore, FJD has been proactive in addressing environmental sustainability, becoming the first ‘Carbon Neutral’ high complexity hospital in Spain. Through the MAS+ program, the hospital is implementing a range of initiatives to reduce emissions and promote sustainable practices, reaffirming its commitment to caring for the environment.
With a focus on excellence, innovation, and sustainability, the Jiménez Díaz Foundation continues to set the standard for healthcare management and patient care in Spain.
