Yale New Haven Health is restructuring operations and consolidating management and administrative roles.
The restructure will affect inpatient and ambulatory operations. Most of the affected employees will be transitioned to new roles at Yale New Haven, but up to 38 people could be laid off from the health system, Director of Public Relations Dana Marnane said in a statement.

Marnane said the changes will help streamline decision-making and position the system for more growth while also maintaining care quality.
The health system did not say when the changes would take effect.
New Haven, Connecticut-based Yale New Haven Health operates five hospitals, several specialty networks and Northeast Medical Group. It is affiliated with Yale University and Yale Medicine. Yale New Haven Hospital serves as the primary teaching hospital for the Yale School of Medicine.
Yale New Haven Health is one of several systems reexamining non-clinical roles. More than a dozen systems, including Mass General Brigham, Cleveland Clinic and Baystate Health, announced cuts to management and administrative roles earlier this year, largely due to financial challenges.
Yale New Haven reported a $48.9 million loss in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with net income of $212.5 million in the year-ago period, according to its most recent financial report.
