The health system was working on a $25 million emergency department redesign at an acute care facility and a $20 million space for obstetrics and medical-surgical care at its Germantown, Md., medical center. However, progress has been temporarily halted because of labor costs, inflation, supply chain issues and other factors affecting the health system’s margins.

The projects were approved in September 2021 and were nearing the ends of their design phases in February 2022. Timelines for the projects are up in the air, but parent company Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health is still expected to finance them.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
