Salus Surgical Group Hospital Renovation

The Century City Doctors Hospital opened its first phase - 150,000 square feet of acute care services - in October 2005 as the largest physician-owned hospital in the United States. The project was completed on a fast-track basis, with only 12 months from the start of construction through licensing and patient care. The cost of the project, including equipment, was $100MM.

The systems and infrastructure of this physician-owned facility naturally responded to the recommendations and direction of the doctors themselves, and as such, represent the state-of-the-art in health care delivery. The hospital is paperless, with digital systems for every patient care and administrative function, from admitting through the high-definition plasma monitors in each of the Operating Rooms. More than 480,000 linear feet of data lines and 4,000 connectivity points were installed. The ability to cross-check patient data between pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, and dietary delivery systems is a key factor in minimizing errors in patient care and achieving higher levels of staff efficiency.

Patient rooms also reflect the most modern conveniences, more akin to a five-star hotel than a typical hospital. Each room is equipped with a bed-side computer with internet access, movies on-demand, television, and menu screens. Menus are automatically customized for each patient’s dietary restrictions and 24-hour room service is standard. VIP rooms also include wide-screen high definition televisions, a visitor’s sitting area, and the ability to convert an adjacent room to a family-stay area.
