"How will you decide what kind of hospital to build?"

In order to build an acute care hospital with multiple inpatient and outpatient service lines, it is imperative to establish design guidelines early on. Using the OMHS vision to inspire them, our Board of Directors developed a set of standards to guide our architects and contractors.

• Develop a Safe Environment for patients, staff and visitors.
• Build a facility that’s Attractive to Healthcare Professionals to help recruit new physicians and staff and retain current employees.
• Ensure the new hospital is Patient and Family Centered and Easy to Navigate.
• Design an interior that allows for Efficient Staff and Patient Flow.
• Plan for space that accommodates Advanced Technology now and into the future.
• Construct an Economically Feasible design.
• Create an environment that’s Supportive of Higher Education and allows on-site learning.
• Build a Flexible, Adaptable and Visually Appealing facility that allows for future expansion and brings pride to the community.
