Integration is. Eight years ago, the foundation supporting the Winship Emory Midtown project set an ambitious goal: to create something “never before seen or imagined.” Technology quickly emerged as a central design driver—raising critical questions about which systems to select, where to deploy them, and how to support an entirely new model of cancer care. Today, that vision has taken shape in a 17-story, 455,000-square-foot cancer hospital where digital tools have been thoughtfully integrated and continuously adapted over time. This session will examine a real-world case study in technology integration through multiple lenses. The speakers will review what was discussed as part of the planning and design process, what was ultimately selected and integrated, and what the patient and staff experience with the technology has been in the 3 years since the building opened. The discussion will reveal how infrastructure, workflows, and space can be aligned with technology solutions to support evolving care models, the patient and staff experience, and research innovation. Attendees will gain practical insight into where integration efforts commonly break down, and the role change management plays in achieving lasting, meaningful innovation.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
