Overview

Workflows built for staff and patients

The new inpatient unit expands the hospital’s ability to care for a growing community while prioritizing staff efficiency and patient safety. Added capacity helps reduce bottlenecks during peak volumes, and the improved layout enhances visibility and response times. The floor elevates safety and comfort through standardized room layouts that streamline care delivery. Centralized planning supports clear sightlines and faster staff response, while ceiling lifts reduce strain and improve patient handling. See-through medication rooms positioned between nursing stations strengthen coordination, minimize unnecessary travel, and create smoother, more efficient workflows across the unit.
