Each year the Mount Sinai Health System participates in HealthFirst’s Quality Incentive Program, which rewards top performers for achieving the highest overall quality among their peers in clinical care, preventive cancer screenings, and effective management of chronic illnesses.
Mount Sinai Beth Israel earned the distinction as a “Top Performing Hospital” and was the number one performer in the Medicare program from HealthFirst’s 2020 Quality Incentive Program.
“This recognition reflects the amazing work of so many people and departments including Adult Primary Care, Pediatrics, Radiology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Nursing, and our terrific Care Coordinators,” says Paul Zucker, Vice President of Ambulatory Operations at Mount Sinai Beth Israel.
He adds, “Most importantly it demonstrates our ability to provide extremely high quality and well-coordinated care to those who have entrusted us to partner in their journey to health and wellness. As 2020 tested both the depth of our resilience and the agility with which we could counter the challenges that COVID-19 presented, this recognition takes on a very special meaning. I’m very proud to be associated with this distinguished group.”
