Northwell Health At-A-Glance
Northwell Health is the largest integrated health system in New York State, and the fourteenth largest healthcare system in the United States. Our robust network includes twenty-one hospitals, three skilled nursing facilities, specialty programs and institutes, and nearly 400 ambulatory locations and practices; the palliative care program provides care to patients at outpatient clinics, in patient homes, at the Stern Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation, and through targeted services in long-term care settings. Our inpatient palliative care teams, outpatient practices, and post-acute services are fully integrated to deliver care across our system. Transitions of care are a priority for our program; our various teams work closely to ensure effective transitions and to communicate with a unified medical voice.
Key benefits of training with Northwell Health also include access to:
- Multiple hospital palliative care and geriatric care teams in tertiary, community, and urban settings—and a community-based team serving a large suburban, metropolitan area
- Observation of IDT sessions, an inpatient palliative care unit, advanced illness beds, and shadowing opportunities with discipline and population-specific colleagues
- A collaborative model across system service lines: hospice care, home health care, population health, physician practices, and long-term care facilities
- Finance staff for help in understanding the financial-impact analysis of palliative care teams
- Managed care and contracting leadership for guidance in working with payers to obtain funding for palliative care teams
- Staffing guidance for a palliative care program that operates across the continuum
- Strategies for integrating palliative care with hospital-wide quality improvement initiatives, including addressing an advanced-illness population
- Expertise in partnering with data collection teams and utilizing databases to capture and track key palliative care clinical and financial measures
