This video from Hospitals & Health Networks looks at how New York City is using innovation and cooperation to handle socio-economic and racial disparities in care and the challenge of the uninsured in the city’s public hospitals.

The ad explains how the new focus on population-health management means that “instead of receiving care that’s isolated and intermittent, patients receive care that’s continuous and coordinated, much of it outside the traditional hospital setting.”
The ad looks at Mount Sinai’s “tremendous emphasis on wellness programs”; its Mobile Acute Care Team, which treats patients at home for certain conditions that otherwise would land them in the hospital; and its Preventable Admissions Care Team, which works to prevent readmissions both through medical care and via help with such nonmedical matters affecting impact health and access to care as housing and literacy.
