Narcisse asks how Mount Sinai and Beth Israel closures affected H&H
Narcisse asks how the April 2025 closures of Mount Sinai and Beth Israel affected patient volume and capacity. Motzquist says it is hard to measure causally, but Bellevue has seen a moderate increase in emergency visits and its ambulance turnaround is below the city average.
Mutsinai, right?
Beth, they close.
How has the closure of Mutsinai and Beth Israel in April 2025 affected patient volume?
hospital capacity, and emergency department with times across the H&H system.
Yeah, that's really hard to measure, right?
Because you have to try to figure out where the patient originated from, where they ended up to.
We could say that overall, Bellevue has seen a moderate increase in ED visits, which may or may not be related to that closure.
It's not possible to track the exact cause of that.
We do know that Bellevue's turnaround time with the city is below the city's average of other hospitals in getting ambulances back on the streets.
Okay.
