Design and construction[edit]
OhioHealth introduced a ground-breaking technology known as Smart Room that combines digital whiteboards with conventional hospital services, marking a first-of-its-kind initiative in the Greater Columbus region.[4] The Smart Room technology provides instant display of patient information on digital door signs as soon as a doctor or nurse wearing a specific badge approaches a room. Patients' televisions are paused to enable them to know who is about to enter their room. Moreover, the platform enables patients to access test results or have virtual consultations with specialists. Family members and friends can also connect remotely with the patient. These digital platforms are intended to improve patient education, provide updates on treatment progress, and offer meal options and entertainment, complementing the traditional nurse-call button system.[5]
The hospital cost $140 million to construct.[6] The hospital encompasses over 30 acres of what was unused property, stretching from the northern area of the former OhioHealth Pickerington Medical Campus.[7]
