Combining technology and patient comfort for tomorrow's hospital Patients come to OHSU Hospital for the latest technology and leading-edge procedures, and because they know their care will be provided by health care professionals who are at the top of their fields. Our challenge is to provide the highest quality, and often the most sophisticated, care in an environment that is both comfortable for the patient and efficient for the staff.
Traditional hospitals are not always the most soothing places. They may focus on physical healing, but may not effectively address a patient's spiritual and emotional needs. Frequently hospitals are designed to streamline the complexities of patient care, but may actually reduce staff effectiveness.
Countless studies have shown that integrating the newest technology with a patient- and family-centered design helps patients heal faster and return home sooner - two goals both patients and hospitals embrace. In addition, improving a hospital's design can reduce staff stress, which will also lead to a better experience for patients.
OHSU is known for being a leader and innovator, always incorporating the latest research into our patient care. When we began designing the new addition to OHSU Hospital, our goal was to create a complete healing environment for our patients. The newest technology and creative designing will make staff more efficient. The comfortable rooms and common areas, and new systems and equipment will help make patients and visitors feel at home, despite being in a hospital.
