Türkiye Newspaper Hospital offers healthcare services in an ethical manner and strives to make patients feel the “warmth of family and the comfort of their own homes.” In 2014, the Hospital continued investments to further expand this service approach, which draws considerable interest.

As a reflection of İhlas Group’s approach to social responsibility, Türkiye Newspaper Hospital was established in 1991 to offer healthcare services, a primary need for individuals and families, under the most favorable conditions. The Hospital embraces a “human-centered” approach in all of its activities. An average of 600 outpatient examinations, 900 inpatient treatments, and 800 surgeries are conducted per day at the Hospital, which serves patients with a total of 70 beds, 90 medical specialists, and 325 medical and administrative employees.

The First Private Hospital To Serve Patients Through An Automation System

Türkiye Newspaper Hospital is the first private hospital in Turkey entirely operated through an automation system. The Hospital closely follows all developments in technology and related legislation to ensure that patients’ expectations are met in the best way possible, and also to meet requirements that arise as a result of healthcare industry developments. Türkiye Newspaper Hospital has integrated all major healthcare applications, such as the sağlık.NET data transmission system, e-prescription, and e-report, into its information management system. The Hospital has also set up the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which enables radiological images such as X-ray, MRI and BT to be transmitted, evaluated and stored digitally.

In addition, the Hospital began using the Automated Appointment Reminder System to further improve patient satisfaction and has set up the Qbuton system, which measures and reports patient and employee satisfaction.
