Jefferson Health - New Jersey’s Heleema Jackson, MSN, RN, Director of Patient Flow Management Center, was recognized as an “Emerging Leader” at the New Jersey Hospital Association’s (NJHA) recent “Best at the Beach” event at Ocean Place Resort & Spa in Long Branch, NJ. Jackson was among the healthcare leaders, policymakers, and community members celebrated at the beachfront celebration for their commitment to good health in the Garden State.

Based at Jefferson Stratford Hospital, the Patient Flow Management Center increases patient throughput and efficiency at all three Jefferson Health – New Jersey hospitals — also including Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital and Jefferson Washington Township Hospital.

Jackson oversees a team of Patient Flow Nursing Supervisors and Patient Care Coordinators who achieve this goal through a complex and highly precise system of moving patients efficiently from their initial admission to their return home (or to another level of care) — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
