Our surgery patients go home sooner than those at any other health system

When you’re recovering from surgery, there’s no place like home. Not only will you be more comfortable in your own surroundings, you’ll recover faster. At NYU Langone, we’re ensuring that patients spend less time in the hospital, with an expected length of stay that is lower than any other health system in the nation.

A shorter length of stay—the time you spend in the hospital—can reduce the risk of medication side effects and hospital infection, and your hospital costs. We apply rigorous quality control measures to minimize infection and other complications.

Getting patients home sooner once it’s safe to leave the hospital means more efficient and effective care, and better outcomes.
