- An outside view of Building 6, the newest addition to the Jacobi Medical
Center.
|
|
2
|
- Jacobi is a public city hospital, caring for a diverse and largely
impoverished population. We recently expanded our facilities, adding an
entirely new hospital, and a cardiac catheterization lab.

|
- Family and Visitors enter the main entrance, register with security, and
make their way to the interior of the hospital.
|
|

|
- Faculty and Staff do their work in one of the most technology-friendly
hospitals in the nation. Literally 90% or more of the work you do and
the data you retrieve is computer-based. Chart data, vitals, ekgs,
radiology, daily notes, and consults are all available from our online
systems.
|
|
5
|
- All ICU’s are set up with the same panoramic layout, allowing staff to
see all their patients with a sweep of their head. Work is done from a
central “command area”.
|
|

|
- Thanks to our centralized technologies, pertinent information can be
called up quickly and easily during rounds. Here the CCU team can
rapidly retrieve old chest films, EKGs, and echocardiographic data to
work out a case of CHF.
|
|
7
|
- There are 6 teams responsible for the general medical floors. In
addition, 3 specialty teams (Oncology, HIV/AIDS, and Pulmonary) care for
patients on the general medicine floors.
|
|

|
- Daily Conferences add to our residents’ education. Each day, conferences
for all, and for specific groups (Residents, Interns, and Students) are
available to complement the hands-on learning that happens on the wards.
|
|
9
|
- On morning rounds, attendings, residents and students gather to discuss
and examine their patients. This is a great time for hands-on learning.
|
|
10
|
- One of Jacobi’s great strengths is its residents, who hail from all over
the world. They literally bring a world of experience to their work and
their patients. We teach to and learn from each other every day.
|
|

|
- And every once in a while, we even get away from the hospital and
experience the joys of Manhattan.
