New York officials recently released a report detailing overcrowding problems at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s emergency room — one of New York City’s busiest, according to an article on the CBS website.
Federal healthcare regulators said 5 percent of the hospital’s ER patients leave before they’re seen by a medical professional — compared with the national average of 2 percent.
New York City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez and Sen. Adriano Espaillat suggested increased staffing, improvements in patient privacy, better access to urgent care centers, and inclusive partnerships with community health providers and professionals.
Rodriguez said he hopes the hospital will use the report to improve services and community relations.
