Trillium Health Centre

The new seven story wing at Trillium Health Centre is, adding 135 much-needed inpatient beds and an expanded cardiac program including a new cardiac operating room and coronary care centre. There were renovations to the fracture clinic, diagnostic imaging and emergency support. The innovative patient rooms designed to improve staff satisfaction and efficiency, patient satisfaction and reduce patient falls, medication errors and nosocomial infections. The decentralized design brings staff closer to patients. This has been enabled through the application of technology linking patients directly to their nurses through Cisco phones and incorporating electronic white boards that are replicated in decentralized spaces. The post evaluation of this wing is currently underway with the assistance of the Centre for Health Design.
