Applying Situational Leadership to Redeployment Duties During COVID-19: Lessons Learned
Background and Objectives: In March 2020, the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused many disruptions to usual operations and demands in excess of normal capacity at NYU Langone Hospital Long Island and NYU Long Island School of Medicine.

Clinical Experience of an American Academic Ophthalmology Department During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusions: During respiratory pandemics such as COVID-19, medical centers should adopt protective measures that are consistent across inpatient and outpatient sectors and consistent with other institutions. Our department's large presence outside the urban center where the main hospital is located allowed faster return of clinical care overall. In the event of another pandemic, a central budget rather than individual divisional budgets should be used for purchase of protective equipment for health care workers of an academic center. Because outpatient care provides important continuity of care and keeps patients away...

Lean Management Systems in Health Care: A Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Well-designed research on Lean Management Systems in health care is lacking. Despite increasing adoption of Lean Management Systems over the past 10 years and anecdotal reports of its effectiveness, very few articles provide quantitative data. Those that do report unit-level implementation only, little use of a comprehensive package of Lean Management Systems elements, and weaker study designs and statistical methods. More rigorous study designs and robust statistical analysis are needed to evaluate effectiveness of Lean Management Systems in health care. This represents a rich area for future health care m...
