Comments

The 1986 annual report is published within the Spring 1987 edition of the hospital publication Yale-New Haven Magazine titled, “From disease to health – finding new ways to care”. The table of contents for the magazine include:

The 1986 Annual Report, titled, “A Report to Our Communities,” begins on page 11. An All-Payors legislation was implemented in Connecticut on October 1, 1986. The Gaylord/Yale-New Haven Rehabilitation Center at Long Wharf opened last year as an outpatient rehabilitation facility. Affiliation agreement between YNHH and the World War II Veterans Memorial Hospital in Meriden was reached. The Center for Pain Management was established, the Geriatric Assessment Clinic expanded, Life Star helicopter services were started in cooperation with Hartford Hospital, and a Magnetic Resonance Center was opened. A new grafting technique was developed to treat burns and YNHH was the first hospital in Connecticut to implant a defibrillator/cardioverter within a patient. YNHH recorded its third year in a row of an operating surplus. The Patient/Customer Task Force was launched during the year as well as a video called, “People Serving People,” in which employees act out roles involving interactions between patients and staff.
