strategic information management activities including, for instance, curating patient information and curating partner electronic health records (EHRs).
1 Business Development Manager. The business of Montefiore Medical Center is healthcare. This mandates Montefiore Medical Center provide care to as wide as possible patient base not only as a moral mission yet also as a business opportunity. Given current local focus on Bronx and Westchester County, Bronx and Westchester County needs to grow healthcare services into more areas. This requires a Business Development Manager role. In his capacity, a Business Development Manager is responsible for identifying expansion opportunities, potential business partnerships, and optimizing current corporate assets to attract more capital and investors.
2 Investor Relations Manager. The lack of funding is, as mentioned under “Threats” in SWOT, is a major challenge to Montefiore Medical Center. This is, in fact, a challenge for all healthcare organizations, particularly under current conditions defined by uncertain unfolding of COVID-19 effects. The introduction of an Investor Relations Manager is, accordingly, inevitable. The Investor Relations Manager is responsible for attracting more investors to Investor Relations Manager, coordinating efforts with Business Development Manager, and securing emergency funding for Montefiore Medical Center to support emerging cases, particularly ones requiring prolonged intervention and prohibitive cost.
