Dr. Katz proposes developing cross-hospital services for subspecialties, especially in geographic areas, to improve coverage and access to specialized care.
- This approach is common in most healthcare systems but unique for NYC Health + Hospitals
- Multiple hospital coverage can provide better service continuity
- Initial efforts will focus on Harlem, Metropolitan, and Lincoln hospitals due to their proximity
- The system is open to other ideas to improve specialty care access and reduce wait times

But it's what people are doing.
2:14:31
Yeah.
2:14:32
Right?
2:14:32
That's that was the NYU urology service.
2:14:36
It's not so the the advantage of trying to do multiple hospitals is you generally have better coverage.
2:14:44
Yeah.
2:14:44
If you have one person and that person's out, you're like, there's no other person.
2:14:50
So we're trying to figure out, you know, can we do a better job of subspecialty if we say especially within close geographic areas.

Okay.

Jacobi, a little bit of an issue because Jacobi close to NCB, a lot, you know, close to others.
2:15:07
We're like a lot of our early efforts are going to be spent on Harlem, Metz, and Lincoln because they're kind of a triangle of like a mile and a half apart.
2:15:18
But not impossible to go certainly from Lincoln to Jacobi.
Kristy Marmorato
2:15:23
Yeah.
Dr. Mitch Katz
2:15:24
Mean, it's not a ridiculous length of time.
2:15:26
But we'll we'll keep at it.
2:15:28
And again, you you you and other members have other ideas.
2:15:31
We're we're open.
Kristy Marmorato
2:15:32
Okay.
2:15:33
Madam chair, can I just ask one last question?
2:15:35
And that's it.
