The $900 million facility is slated to open in the third quarter and will replace the old St. Mary’s Medical Center. The Duluth, Minn.-based health system outlined features the updated facility will offer to patients and their families in a May 1 news release.
Private patient rooms will each include a patient education and entertainment system meant to mirror a “hotel-like” experience. Other features include text-based surgery notifications for visitors while their loved one is undergoing a procedure, and a digital wayfinding kiosk to give clear instructions on navigating the campus. Additionally, the facility will have a pneumatic tube system to transport smaller items quickly, similar to the set up at a bank drive-through.
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.
