Healthcare Ecosystems - Task 1
Introduction
Founded in 1841, New York University Langone Medical Center is considered one of the nation’s top health care centers. Located in Manhattan, NYU Langone Medical Center consists of four hospitals -Tisch Hospital, with 705 acute-care beds; Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, the first hospital dedicated solely to rehabilitation in the world, with vast inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services and programs; Hospital for Joint Diseases, contains 190 acute-care-beds and is one of the five hospitals in the world dedicated only to orthopedics and rheumatologic conditions; and the Hassenfeld Pediatric Center, which is composed by a full array of children’s health services.1
In addition, NYU Langone Medical Center offers ambulatory care services throughout New York City five boroughs, New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties. NYU Langone Medical Center’s medical students, residents, specialists and faculty also provide patient care at Bellevue Hospital Center, the nation’s first and oldest public hospital.1
Impact on Growth
In October, 2012 During Hurricane Sandy, major medical hospitals and institutions in New York City had to be evacuated after multiple electrical outages and mechanical systems failed, among them was the NYU Langone Medical Center.2
Six Months after Hurricane Sandy, health care facilities and hospitals were still struggling to go back to full operational status. The affected hospitals extend beyond the NYU Langone Medical Center, which shut down almost in its totality after storm damages. Neighboring hospitals absorbed the emergency patients, including medical residents, fellows and nurses.2
The need for help was so enormous, that the federal government was forced to inject $150 million to reimburse NYU Langone Medical Center for rebuilding costs; the funds were only a small portion of the estimated $1.1 billion economic impact the hospital took.2
