What goes into a 'smart' hospital?

Monday, October 7th, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Houston Methodist's ninth hospital, set to open in early 2025, is a smart one.
 
Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital will open with 100 beds and incorporate the latest technological advancements from day one. It features innovations developed during the COVID pandemic, designed to enhance communication between patients, families, physicians and staff. Patient rooms are voice-controlled, virtual-medicine-enabled, and equipped with ambient intelligence. The goal? One care experience, where the hospital feels like an extension of the patient’s home, fostering a stay with self-control, care and comfort. 
 
For Roberta Schwartz, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer at Houston Methodist, this hospital represents over two years of meticulous planning, incorporating key learnings from successful pilots across the hospital system to provide the latest in patient-centered care.
 
In this 60-minute editorial webinar, join Becker's Molly Gamble for an exclusive, conversational tour with Dr. Schwartz of the hospital before its grand opening. Discover the vision that guided its creation, explore groundbreaking features set to transform patient and employee experiences, and gain insight into the challenges and triumphs of bringing this "smart" concept to life.
