"Are New York City’s Public Hospitals Becoming the Main Provider of Inpatient Services for the Mentally Ill?" - NYC Independent Budget Office

7/26/2017

 
The number of hospitalizations at public and voluntary hospitals in New York City has been declining for some time, falling from 1.3 million hospitalizations in 2009 to 1.1 million in 2014. This decline in hospitalizations is similar to national trends, as health care is increasingly provided in outpatient settings. One noticeable exception to this trend is the hospitalization of patients with mental illness by NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s public hospital system. Mental health hospitalizations at NYC Health + Hospitals’ 11 hospitals grew by 20 percent in 2009-2014, increasing from 20,550 to 24,750. Over the same six year-period, mental health hospitalizations decreased by nearly 5 percent among the voluntary hospitals in New York City.
