Emergency Service:
From the Patient’s Perspective
with Steven Kelley, President and CEO of Ellenville Regional Hospital

A story about the innovative application of industrial methodology to improve the quality of emergency services from a patient’s perspective.
The outcome was creating the value of the fastest ER service in New York.

Steve reinvented himself through three distinct careers interweaving proven business skills:  Information Technology (IBM, Control Data, and as an entrepreneur); as a research scientist (helped to develop the RUGS nursing home reimbursement system while at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He led similar research on emergency department services funded by NYS Department of Health); and in leadership positions in health care administration.

Currently serving as CEO at Ellenville Regional Hospital (ERH), Kelley presided over a difficult “turn-around” situation (including bankruptcy) to leading one of the finest small hospitals in America based on innovation, quality, outcomes, and operational and financial performance.  His “out of the box” approach and empowerment message created a substantial disruption to many accepted practices.  His success lead to frequent consulting and speaking engagements on topics ranging from fighting the opiate epidemic, dramatically improving patient outcomes, developing a new hospital information system, and on “change” leadership.

In April 2023 Steve presented alongside Sheriff Juan Figueroa of the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office at the RX & Illicit Drug Summit at the Georgia World Conference Center on “Reducing Overdoses and Increasing Access to Treatment in Rural Underserved Communities: Lessons learned from Connecticut and New York. In 2022 Steve presented ERH’s insights in the RX Summit 2022 Embassy Suites, Atlanta Centennial Park on “Innovative Approaches to Access Treatment and Harm Reduction Services in a Rural, Underserved Community”, NYSTEC Population Health Innovation Summit 2022 Albany Capital Center on “The Role of Community-Clinical Partnerships in Reducing Disparities: How three hospital-based programs are responding to needs in their region”, and presented “Physical Rehabilitation Program for Long COVID Patients” at both the Vizient 2022 Stronger Connections Summit Wynn, Las Vegas & the NRHA Conference 2022 in Kansas City, MO.
