The Humber River Hospital is North America’s first fully digital hospital, opening its doors for the first time on October 19, 2015. A digital hospital uses the most current technologies possible to enhance all aspects of quality care and safety. The hospital is a 1.8 million square foot facility (larger than Yorkdale!), with the majority of rooms being private. Technological advances include the ability to notify family and loved ones about how the patient is doing during surgery, delivering most medications and supplies by automation reducing human error, Inpatients can control lights, use the telephone and internet, order food, and review their medical record all from a bedside computer and Outpatients can register from home up to 24 hours prior to an appointment so they won’t have to stand in line when they come to the hospital. All of this is contained within a green environment meant to improve air quality, temperature, and noise while maximizing energy efficiency.
