Description

A clarifying must-read in these uncertain times.'GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO

Journey behind the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic with Northwell Health, New York's largest health system.


What was it like at the epicenter, inside the health system that cared for more COVID-19 patients than any other in the United States? Leading Through a Pandemic:The Inside Story of Lessons Learned about Innovation, Leadership, and Humanity During the COVID-19Crisis takes readers inside Northwell Health, New York's largest health system. From the C-suite to the front lines, the book reports on groundwork that positioned Northwell as uniquely prepared for the pandemic.

Two decades ago, Northwell leaders began preparing for disastersfloods, hurricanes, blackouts, viruses, and more based on the belief that bad things will happen and we have to be ready. Following a course highly unusual for an American health system, Northwell developed one of the most advanced non-government emergency response systems in the country. Northwell reached a point where leaders could confidently say we are comfortable being uncomfortable in a crisis. But even with sustained preparation, the pandemic stands as a singularly humbling experience.

Leading Through a Pandemicoffers guidance on how hospitals and health systems throughout the country can prepare more effectively for the next viral threat. The book includes dramatic stories from the front lines at the peak of the viral assault and lessons of what went well, and what did not. The authors draw upon the Northwell experience to prescribe changes in the health care system for next time. Beyond the obvious need for increased stockpiles of supplies and equipment is the far more challenging task of fundamentally changing the culture of American health care to embrace a more robust emergency response capability in hospitals and systems of all sizes across the nation. The book is a must read for health care professionals, policy-makers, journalists, and readers whose curiosity demands a deeper dive into the surreal realm of the coronavirus pandemic.
