The idea of the plan was to find an additional source of revenue for the hospital system and carry out an internal reorganization to move the hospital system out of the red. Flash forward to the present and NYC H+H is in even greater financial straits than in 2010. Today, the hospital system, which serves more than one million patients a year, 400, 000 of whom are uninsured, has a current deficit of $1. 2 billion, projected to rise to $1. 8 billion by 2020, despite the increase in the annual level of support from the city: from $1. 3 billion in 2013 to $1. 8 billion this year and to a planned $1. 9 billion in 2020. While H+H has cut its 43, 000 workforce by 10 percent, closed clinics and shuttered Goldwater hospital (shifting patients to Harlem hospital), it struggles to attract patients with commercial insurance and to hire doctors and nurses to fill the ranks of those who have left. It also has struggled with updating an aging system whose physical infrastructure belies a level of care that matches or in some instance excels that of five of the largest private voluntary hospitals in the city, according to the Leapfrog Group, a national hospital industry quality measure organization, which rates hospitals on a set range of patient safety metrics.
