Surviving the Surge: New York City Hospitals Respond to Superstorm Sandy Case Solution
This is just an excerpt. This case is about LEADERSHIP & MANAGING PEOPLE
PUBLICATION DATE: May 05, 2016
This case checks out the prior experiences of 3 Manhattan-based hospitals throughout Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Starting with an introduction of how the hospitals prepared in the days and months preceeding the storm, it focuses mainly on choices made by each organization, as Sandy approached, about whether to shelter-in-place or leave numerous clinically vulnerable clients-- the previous technique risking of exposing people to dangerous and unsafe conditions, the latter being a hard and specifically complicated procedure, not without its very own threats. Eventually, each of the 3 hospitals profiled in the event took a various method, notified by their varying understandings of danger and other special situations. The case shows the really tough compromises medical facility administrators and regional and state public health authorizations come to grips with as Sandy bore down on New York and clearly illustrates the implications of these choices, with the violent storm eventually causing major damage on Manhattan and throughout much of the surrounding area.
