Background
Located in Bronx, New York’s Norwood section, Montefiore Medical is a teaching hospital named after Moses Montefiore and affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In the top ten of NYC hospitals, it boasts a large and varied workforce (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). It was founded in 1884 and houses 1,490 beds. While the main hospital has 200 to 500 employees, the organization hired more than 12,000 employees (Business Wire, 2004).
Montefiore Medical Center follows the traditional organizational structure of most hospitals. The CEO or Chief Executive Officer is Steven M. Safyer and serves also as the President. The organization employees a large staff of physicians, nurses, specialists, along with others that serve as the foundation for the organization regarding billing, administration, human resources, and operations. Alfredo Cabrera serves as both Chief Human Resources Officer and System Senior Vice President. Lynn Richmond serves as both the Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President. The Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President is Phillip O. Ozuah (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017).
The overall mission for Montefiore Medical Center is to teach, discover, heal, and advance the health of communities served (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). The organization aims to lead in the area of medical innovation as well as community service because they believe it can improve the lives of patients in their care. Their vision involves becoming the premier academic medical center, enriching and transforming lives (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). Their core values include humanity, innovation, teamwork, diversity, and equity (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). They believe in a fair and equal work environment and promote respectful treatment of all patients regardless of gender, age, race, religion, or ethnicity. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, Montefiore Medical Center was established with the health in mind of the patients they protect and treat. Through innovations like establishment of multidisciplinary teams and latest medical equipment, the desire to be ahead in their field rings true (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017).
Review of Organizational Structure
Diversity is something that Montefiore prides itself in and shows it through their multi-cultural staff. The Executive Vice President mentioned earlier is an African-America man. There are also...
Furthermore, doctors and nurses within the organization come from various cultures, have various religious beliefs, and are all treated equally. Therefore, Montefiore is regarded as a top hospital in the nation. “Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y. is nationally ranked in 1 adult specialty and 7 pediatric specialties and rated high performing in 7 adult specialties and 4 procedures and conditions” (USNews, 2017). A teaching hospital, Montefiore Medical Center scores top points in specialty areas like cancer and nephrology.
Along with enforcing the diversity value, innovation has been seen through other measures regarding ‘green initiatives. Part of the desire to implement green initiatives aside from innovation is to provide advancement of health for the communities they serve. To do this, the organization aims to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions via energy and waste reduction programs and improving/addressing sustainability measures. “Part of Montefiore’s mission is to advance the health of the communities we serve, and here at Montefiore we feel that cannot be accomplished without addressing sustainability, environmental and community health, and their place within the healthcare setting” (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). The effort has provided further proof that the organization aims to adhere to their values in various areas.
The organizational structure often has leaders serving dual functions. Like the Chief Executive Officer serving as President and so forth. While at first serving dual functions within a job may seem potentially problematic, the efforts have paid off regarding Montefiore’s growth and improvement. Reaching the top ten in New York for hospitals shows that Montefiore can deliver the practical and medical aspect of healthcare.
Essentially, Montefiore has clear boundaries for each area of the hospital like Human Resources and Billing. However, they also allow departments within the hospital to integrate and provide high quality care to their patients (Montefiore Medical Center, 2017). This leads to the assessment that Montefiore is one of the best hospitals in the country due to their willingness to continually adhere to their values and implement positive changes within the organization and the community.
