The $1.5 billion UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay on University of California San Francisco's biomedical research campus is set to open in February, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design magazine website.
The project comprises UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco, UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women’s Hospital and UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital. The new facilities include a 289-bed hospital complex, with children’s emergency and outpatient services and the only operating hospital helipad in San Francisco.
Each of the new hospitals’ designs reflects input from patients and families, as well as clinicians, the article said.
The hospitals feature a fleet of autonomous robotic couriers, which will deliver linens, meals and medications. Interactive media walls in each private room will enable patients to communicate with their families and clinicians, and an imaging suite specially designed to eliminate anxiety during an MRI offers children the chance to virtually experience a San Francisco trolley ride, or to play with a cast of animated critters as they boat around the San Francisco Bay.
