THIRTEENTH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH IN NEW YORK
Staff of The David & Alice Jurist Institute for Research at Hackensack University Medical Center participated in an exhibition at the Thirteenth Annual Symposium on Health Services Research held at the Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York, NY. The Greater New York Hospital Foundation and the United Hospital Fund of New York sponsored the event.
The symposium is held annually to foster collaboration and understanding of current research being conducted by various research institutions and investigators and to maintain the bridge between health services researchers and practioners. The symposium is organized in collaboration with leading health services research institutions in the New York metropolitan area such as: Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Baruch College and Mount Sinai School of Medicine Graduate Programs; Columbia University School of Nursing and The Joseph L. Mallman School of Public Health; The Medical and Health Research Association of New York City, Inc.; The New School University; The New York Academy of Medicine; New York Medical College; New York University; The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing; The University at Albany; Visiting Nurse Service of New York and the Center for Home Care Policy and Research. Additionally, Hackensack University Medical Center was the only institution accepted for presentation from New Jersey.
The medical center had the largest number of presentations of any of the hospitals represented. The posters ranged in topics and included:
- “Development of Emergency Department Staff as First Responders for a Weapons of Mass Destruction Event”
- “Active Intervention by Advanced Practice Nurse to Increase Compliance with CAP Quality Indicators and Decreased Length of Stay & Cost Per Case”
- “Expanding Access to Clinical Trials”
- “The Resident Assessment Instrument for Palliative Care”
- “Elders Acquiring Acute Hospitalization Represent a ‘Captured Population’ for Purposes of Screening and Addressing Hearing Deficits”
The David Joseph Jurist Research Center for Tomorrows Children opened on the medical center’s campus in early 2000. The five-story, 55,000 square-foot building houses The David and Alice Jurist Institute for Research and consolidates all of the medical center’s ongoing research activities into one location. The research center enhances the tireless work the medical center’s scientists and physician-investigators are pursuing as partners in national and international multi-center trials.
The research center complements the work of the Tomorrows Children’s Institute for Cancer and other Blood Disorders (TCI). Housed in the DON IMUS-WFAN Pediatric Center for Tomorrows Children, TCI is recognized as one of the largest and most well known pediatric oncology programs in the nation.
