Design and construction
Dublin Methodist was designed with an emphasis on family spaces, natural light and a focus on comfort such as all private rooms with a sleeping couch for guests. The hospital was also intended to be a quiet environment including the use of electronic communication. There is no overhead paging, and special ceiling tiles are used in common areas to absorb sound. Hospital courtyards and rooftops include 13 gardens.

It was named one of the “Most Wired” hospitals in America in a survey that assessed the ways hospitals use information technologies for quality, customer service, public health and safety, business processes and workforce issues.

The hospital cost $150 million to construct. The contractor on the project was Elford/Gilbane Building Company. The architect during construction was Karlsberger and built by Elford/Gilbane Building Company.

Services
Dublin Methodist Hospital received the Outstanding Patient Experience Award in 2017.

As part of the OhioHealth system, Dublin Methodist has specially monitored eICU intensive care beds monitoring patients 24/7 with video, audio and vital sign monitors linking to intensive care experts at Riverside Methodist Hospital to enhance the safety for critically ill patients. To preserve patients privacy the eICU equipment has no recording capabilities with either the audio or video system and the camera is only turned toward the patient periodically.

Critical care beds are equipped to adapt to a patient's changing condition by bringing monitoring equipment to the bedside, rather than moving the patient throughout the hospital.
