This collection consists of the office files of Marianne Coughlin during her years as Vice President of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Her office was responsible for overseeing regulatory accreditation, Medical Center safety issues and emergency preparedness. All of those areas are reflected here. Of particular note is information about the Management-Labor Partnership group that was created at Mount Sinai in the mid-2000s. The group included Hospital and Nursing leadership as well as representatives of Union Local 1199 and the New York State Nurses Association.

Memos and statistics related to the process of accreditation by the American Medical Association. Statistics include total number of beds, visits, new patients, and operations, as well as information on clinics, laboratories, and the medical library. A 1950 bibliography lists writings by Mount Sinai staff.

These files represent an almost complete official record of the Clinical Excellence Committee, the Task Forces, and their subcommittees. The minutes are complete, with only one exception. There are few interim reports or correspondence among the coordinators, the chairmen of the committees, and members. The final report is contained in Box 2, folder 1.

Some of the minutes have notes made by Dr. Thomas Chalmers, President and Dean of The Mount Sinai Medical Center and School of Medicine. The files probably came from that office, although, aside from these few notes, they are generic.
