When expecting a baby, among the flurry of decisions to be made, choosing where to deliver stands out as one of the most significant. It's a choice that goes beyond mere geography or convenience; it's about where you'll welcome your child into the world and the first level of care both of you will receive. It's about safety, support, and a positive birth experience. Today, we're spotlighting Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) as an exemplary choice for families looking to ensure the best start for their newborns. The Importance of the Right Location The location you choose for delivery impacts the medical care quality, emotional support, and the array of services available to you and your baby. A hospital equipped with top-tier facilities, specialized care, and a nurturing environment can make a significant difference in your childbirth experience. It's not just about the immediate moments post-birth but also about the comprehensive care leading up to and following this life-changing event. Why Hackensack University Medical Center Stands Apart Magnet Hospital Recognition: A Mark of Nursing Excellence HUMC isn't just any hospital; it's recognized as a Magnet hospital. This prestigious designation is the gold standard for nursing excellence and quality patient care. It signals a supportive environment not just for patients but for the medical professionals dedicated to your care, ensuring that you receive the best possible support during this critical time. Level III NICU: Ready for Every Possibility Babies don't always arrive as expected, and some need a little extra help getting started. HUMC's Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is equipped for a high level of neonatal care. This means that even the smallest or sickest of newborns receive top-notch, specialized care, offering peace of mind that, should your baby need it, the best possible support is right there. All Private Rooms: Comfort, Privacy, and Bonding The benefits of all private rooms cannot be overstated. Privacy during these first moments can significantly impact a mother's stress levels and overall recovery. HUMC offers this serenity, facilitating a peaceful environment where families can bond with their new arrivals without the intrusion of a shared space. Lactation Consultations 7 Days a Week: Support for Breastfeeding Mothers Breastfeeding, while natural, can come with its set of challenges. HUMC's commitment to lactation consultations seven days a week ensures that mothers receive the support and guidance they need, promoting successful breastfeeding practices and addressing any concerns promptly. High-Level Experience: A Team You Can Trust At HUMC, you're in good hands. The hospital prides itself on its highly experienced team of obstetricians, pediatricians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to their roles. This high level of experience means that expectant parents can relax, knowing they're supported by some of the best in the field. Choosing where to give birth is a pivotal decision for expecting families. It's about more than just the physical location—it's about the care, the support, and the environment that will surround you and your baby during one of life's most momentous occasions. Hackensack University Medical Center stands out as a beacon of excellence in this regard, offering everything from unparalleled medical care to the peace and privacy families deserve. As you consider your options, remember the difference the right location can make—not just for the birth itself but for the lifelong memories it will help create. Your feedback is essential to us!

Collaborative patient care models that empower the primary care nurse to communicate patient needs to physicians has not only improved patient care and outcomes but also fostered a cultural change at Hackensack University Medical Center, explains Lenore Blank, a nurse practitioner and administrative manager of HUMC's heart failure and pulmonary hypertension team. Her team is part of Pursuing Perfection, a healthcare quality initiative from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement. As HUMC creates the partnerships mandated by Pursuing Perfection, it is extending the knowledge and benefits they've gained with other organizations -- and reducing hospital readmissions in the process. Blank, Michelle Gilbert, Donna Isgett, and Leanne Huminski will describe how their organizations are implementing perfect care processes in heart failure and medication management with details on how they've implemented their programs and the results they are achieving during a August 22, 2007 audio conference, Pursuing Perfect Care: Improving Chronic Care Outcomes by Treating the Whole Patient.
Robots -- dispensing meds in the pharmacy, assisting in the operating room, and even facilitating remote doctors' rounds -- is just one example of the technology supporting quality initiatives at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC), explained Regina Berman, administrative director for performance improvement. As the top earner in the CMS/Premier Pay for Performance project for two years running, HUMC has seen a "reverse migration" of patients who used to head to New York for medical care, said Ms. Berman. Its bariatric surgery program draws patients from around the nation, and its cancer center 100 attracts new patients each week. Just 10 miles from the Big Apple, HUMC has been cited by Business Week magazine for its technology initiatives and by New York magazine as one of the top 10 hospitals where physicians would go for their own care. She attributes the success of HUMC to involvement and commitment of front-line staff. Jim Bente, Memorial's vice president of quality and organizational development, Berman, and Liz Popwell, Cleveland County Healthcare Systems' vice president of systems management gave us the inside details on how these hospitals have structured their internal processes to support an environment of performance improvement that has led to quality incentive payments from CMS under the Hospital Quality Improvement program during an April 18, 2007 audio conference, How to Structure a Healthcare Performance Improvement Process That Results in Incentive Payments.
