A Mature HIS Architecture Powered by Sarus EMR/EHR
Istanbul Bahçelievler State Hospital is recognized as one of the rare healthcare institutions worldwide that has achieved and continues to sustain both HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 and O-EMRAM Stage 7, the highest levels of digital maturity defined by HIMSS for inpatient and outpatient care.
The hospital first attained O-EMRAM Stage 7 in 2022, complementing its already established EMRAM Stage 7 status. Since then, these levels have been preserved through ongoing audits, governance reviews, and continuous digital compliance efforts—demonstrating that digital maturity is not a one-time milestone, but a sustained operational commitment.
This achievement reflects a long-term institutional vision supported by structured clinical workflows, measurable outcomes, and close coordination between clinical, administrative, and IT teams. Under the leadership of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Adnan Develioğlu, Istanbul Bahçelievler State Hospital has shown how consistency and ownership can translate into durable digital excellence.
Throughout this journey, the hospital’s digital clinical operations have been supported by the Sarus EMR platform, designed to align with HIMSS maturity requirements, clinical governance standards, and long-term sustainability. Sarus EMR provides a stable foundation for structured clinical documentation, interoperability, and continuous digital compliance across both inpatient and outpatient workflows.
As the HIS (EMR/EHR) vendor supporting the hospital’s digital infrastructure, we consider it a privilege to contribute to this achievement. Being part of an institution that has not only reached but consistently maintained the highest HIMSS maturity levels is a source of pride for our entire team.
Istanbul Bahçelievler State Hospital’s sustained EMRAM Stage 7 and O-EMRAM Stage 7 status stands as a strong reference point for healthcare organizations worldwide pursuing meaningful and measurable digital transformation.
About HIMSS EMRAM & O-EMRAM
The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) is a global organization focused on improving healthcare quality, safety, and efficiency through the effective use of information and technology.
EMRAM (Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model) evaluates digital maturity in inpatient hospital settings.
O-EMRAM (Outpatient EMR Adoption Model) assesses digital maturity across outpatient and ambulatory care services.
Stage 7, the highest level in both models, represents a fully digital, paperless environment supported by advanced clinical decision support, interoperability, analytics, and governance frameworks.
