Wichita hospital renovates women's care unit

Wesley Medical Center project includes 33 private patient rooms, the nurses' station and hallways


Wesley Medical Center renovation of it's woman's care unit included updates to 33 private patient rooms, the nurses’ station and hallways, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.

The renovations also incorporated LINC technology, which delivers access to a patient’s clinical information, offering the opportunity to update medical records, verify medication and review the patient’s last scans and test results, the article said.

The timeline on the project needed to be quick because the construction team required the take over of patient rooms in order to complete the project, the article said. To expedite construction, the team experimented with prefabricated bathrooms and head walls. 

The second phase of construction will include renovations of the third, fourth and fifth floors, and the final phase will include an additional postpartum room and outpatient surgery rooms.
