"Under his leadership, the hospital's mortality rate ranks among the lowest both in Brooklyn - which has one of the nation's highest Medicaid populations - and nationwide. NYU Langone's investments in its Sunset Park campus have significantly improved quality, safety, and coordinated care for all patients. More than 80% of discharged patients are Medicaid or Medicare patients, who often lack access to high-quality healthcare and have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other underlying health conditions."
"Since the merger, the hospital has shortened the average length of stay, reduced readmissions, and emerged as one of New York City's highest-performing hospitals for quality and patient safety. According to a study published in JAMA Network Open in 2022, NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn saw a 33 percent drop in the mortality rate of hospitalized patients since the merger. NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn has increased procedural and surgical volume and expanded access to advanced specialty care,"
NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn undertook sustained investments to improve quality, safety, and coordinated care at its Sunset Park campus. The hospital serves a predominantly Medicaid and Medicare population with high rates of chronic conditions and limited access to high-quality care. Since the merger, the hospital shortened average length of stay, reduced readmissions, increased surgical and procedural volume by more than 20 percent, and achieved on-time surgical starts above 90 percent. A 2022 JAMA Network Open study reported a 33 percent decline in hospitalized-patient mortality since the merger. The hospital expanded advanced specialty services and earned the borough's first Magnet designation.
