PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Join the nation s first local Office of Healthcare Accountability, serving as the city s healthcare watchdog and ensuring access to affordable, high-quality care for all New Yorkers.
The new Office of Healthcare Accountability is located within the Bureau of Equitable Health Systems (BEHS) in the Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness (CHECW) of theNYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).
BEHS is the healthcare systems bureau of DOHMH. We apply policy, evidence, and practical expertise to improve equity in healthcare delivery at the individual, organizational, and systems levels. We do this by engaging primary care providers and other healthcare organizations to implement evidence-based strategies; leveraging information to support planning and technical assistance for providers and payers; advancing policy to close the racial equity gap for priority health outcomes; and surfacing opportunities where healthcare can influence and connect consumers to social support and addressing the whole person, beyond physical ailments.
CHECW aims to eliminate racial inequities resulting in premature mortality, focusing on chronic disease by addressing the social and environmental factors that impact health. CHECW works to increase placed-based investments in priority neighborhoods with community programming and services based on epidemiology; influence and leverage the health system to promote whole-person care; intensify the agency's approach to tackling big salt, sugar, and tobacco; and find innovative ways to improve the built environment and address other social determinants of health.
Since January 2020, DOHMH has been fighting the COVID-19 pandemic- activities include but are not limited to surveillance & epidemiological investigations; lab testing; engaging and providing guidance to healthcare partners; ensuring the safety & health of responders; providing timely and accurate information to the public; promoting the emotional health of New Yorkers and coordinating citywide COVID-19 vaccine administration. DOHMH works closely with community-based organizations (CBOs) to increase access to and awareness of COVID-19 prevention, treatment, and vaccination services. Consistent with the Health Department s decades long commitment to place-based investments, new work is focused on neighborhoods who have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, have low vaccination rates, and have been harmed by racial and ethnic health inequities. DOHMH seeks to continue place-based anti-racism interventions toward COVID-19 recovery and chronic disease prevention over the coming two years through continued investment in the Public Health Corps.
