Fifty-seven inpatient and outpatient rooms will be outfitted with telehealth technology that will give patients the opportunity to consult with physicians at other hospitals. 

“Anywhere we have subject matter expertise, it enables a patient to immediately connect with that resource,” Nicholas Anstine, administrative director for the Cleveland Clinic’s Regional Hospitals, told the publication. “And, of course, we’ll have people on site. We can’t go fully telemedicine.”

The new hospital, dubbed Mentor Hospital, is slated to open July 11.

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.
