Montefiore's Patient Care Philosophy

At Montefiore, we practice state-of-the-art medicine with old-fashioned personal attention. We combine the best in physician expertise and new advances in diagnosis and treatment with the best in bedside care.

 

	Outstanding expertise Expert care is the number-one need of patients. We know that and we have made our clinical leadership second to none. As the University Hospital and Academic Medical Center for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, we provide the benefits of a teaching center where outstanding physicians and medical researchers work side by side, along with great doctors-in-the-making. Our hospitals and outpatient facilities  are staffed by practitioners who are nationally and internationally renowned in their fields.
	Breakthrough research Research and innovation make great advances in care possible. Montefiore is consistently on the forefront of medical breakthroughs through our development of cutting-edge techniques and clinical trials. We have not only the vision but also the staff, the resources and the commitment to find the more effective treatments and more successful cures. Visit any of our  Centers of Excellence here online and you’ll learn of new procedures, new equipment and new ideas that make Montefiore an acknowledged leader in multiple fields of medicine.
	Technological innovations Our pioneering use of information technology is key to our success in ensuring patient safety and delivering high-quality care. Our integrated system for managing patient records and ordering prescriptions protects against life-threatening errors. Our ground-breaking system known as Clinical Looking Glass can monitor a patient’s health for life. Montefiore is not only leading in these developments—we are virtually alone in using them. Our investment in information technology truly sets us apart from other medical centers.
	Standard-setting service We don’t just treat disease—we treat people. We understand that every patient has unique needs and we meet them with constant doses of personal attention. We understand that family members can be deeply affected when a loved one is ill. Our family-centered approach to patient care embraces spouses, parents, children and significant others as vital participants in the treatment process. Montefiore is committed to delivering extraordinary clinical and customer care. Our employee-developed Standards of Service Excellence guide and remind every associate that service—to help and heal the body and the spirit—is what we are about.
