The exec: key considerations for innovation in critical care. Important steps in the adoption of innovations in clinical care include choosing innovations that have been shown to improve patient outcomes and to improve operational excellence, this new CMO says. Key takeaways. CMOs and other senior leaders should have a clear vision of how a critical care innovation aligns with the priorities of a health system or hospital such as improving patient safety. It is important for a CMO and other senior leaders to gain institutional buy-in for an innovation in critical care, which involves ensuring that an innovation is evidence-based, that it has been shown to improve patient outcomes, and that it is either cost-neutral or capable of decreasing costs. An innovation in critical care should be attainable, with considerations such as whether an institution can support the innovation and whether there is a return on investment. Samuel Acquah, MD, who became the new vice president and CMO of Northwell Health's Phelps Hospital in July, has extensive experience in critical care innovation. Acquah's prior leadership experience includes serving as section chief of medical critical care at Mount Sinai Health System. The keys to success in critical care innovation include choosing innovations that have been shown to improve patient outcomes and to improve operational excellence, according to Acquah. "You also should have a clear vision of how an innovation aligns with the priorities of your health system or hospital," Acquah says. "For example, an innovation in critical care should have an impact on patient safety, mortality, and decreasing costs." Ensuring that an innovation is aligned with an organization's priorities includes assessing the needs of an institution and any gaps in care, Acquah explains. "Once you identify those needs and gaps, then you must determine whether an innovation can meet those needs and close those gaps," Acquah says. It is important for a CMO and other senior leaders to gain institutional buy-in for an innovation in critical care, which involves ensuring that an innovation is evidence-based, that it has been shown to improve patient outcomes, and that it is either cost-neutral or capable of decreasing costs, according to Acquah. Get the latest on healthcare leadership in your inbox. Example of adopting and implementing a critical care innovation. Acquah was a physician champion in the adoption and implementation of a veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program at Mount Sinai's medical ICU. Adoption of the veno-venous ECMO program reflected Acquah's philosophy on clinical care innovation. "No. 1, we realized there was a need for a veno-venous ECMO program," Acquah says. "Once that determination was made, I made sure the program was attainable." Ensuring the program was attainable included factors such as what the institution could support and the potential for return on investment. From an institutional support perspective, the ability to form a multidisciplinary team for the veno-venous ECMO program was crucial. "A veno-venous ECMO program requires a multidisciplinary team, including the involvement of pulmonologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, perfusionists, respiratory therapists, and well-trained nurses," Acquah says. "A veno-venous ECMO program also needs support from key hospital departments such as cardiology and lung transplant." Senior leaders believed the veno-venous ECMO program would improve the health of patients, which would drive ROI, Acquah says. Once the ability to form a multidisciplinary team to support the program was established and there was an expectation of a return on investment, a focal point of implementation was simulation training. "Simulation has become an important element of critical care training," Acquah says. "To have a successful simulation program, you need physicians who are well-versed in simulation training, you need to ensure that training participants understand that it is safe to fail during a simulation exercise, and you need to make sure that simulation scenarios have a particular purpose." There are two considerations for ensuring that simulation scenarios are purpose-driven, according to Acquah. "Most simulation scenarios focus on low-frequency but high-acuity events," Acquah says. "These are events that do not happen often but can have catastrophic consequences when they occur."
Northwell's Summer Hamptons Evening event raises $650K. NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Northwell Health raised more than $650,000 at the eighth annual Summer Hamptons Evening. Since its inception, the event has raised nearly $7 million to support the Katz Institute for Women's Health and the communities Northwell serves. More than 300 supporters attended the event on August 8th, held at the Water Mill, NY residence of Victoria Moran-Furman, who co-hosted with Iris and Saul Katz, the benefactors of Northwell's Katz Institute, Eric Moran and celebrity event planner Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events. Rosanna Scotto, cohost of Fox 5's "Good Day New York," served as emcee.

The Institute has created the only dedicated network of more than 1,100 experts who are uniquely qualified to address the health care needs of women. The evening included remarks from Stephanie Trentacoste McNally, MD, medical director of the Katz Institute, system director of menopause and midlife health and vice president of obstetrics and gynecology for Northwell's central market, who highlighted Northwell's investment in creating specialized centers for menopause and midlife health to help women navigate a pivotal phase of life that affects all aspects of their overall health. As part of the Katz Institute, the first-of-its-kind model will bring experts in multiple disciplines together under one roof to provide coordinated care. The first center opened in Stony Brook in March, and other locations are planned across Northwell's footprint. "Northwell and the Katz Institute are deeply committed to ensuring our patients receive the most comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to their needs at every stage of life," said Stacey E. Rosen, MD, FAHA, executive director of the Katz Institute, senior vice president for women's health at Northwell and the Partners Council Professor of Women's Health at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. "The generosity of our donors who believe in our mission fuels our ability to continually elevate this care so that women across our communities are empowered to live long, healthy lives." Dr. Rosen also brought her expertise in women's health care to her role as the immediate past volunteer president of the American Heart Association (AHA), the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health, where she primarily focused her tenure on efforts to improve the health of women through coordinated, holistic care, reduce gaps in research and raise awareness about preventative care throughout a woman's lifespan.
