“The hospital of the future is coming to Michigan.
All over the state, hospitals and doctor networks are investing millions in technology, a push also being made by the federal government.
Patients at some of the state’s largest health systems over the next few years, for example, will have hospital rooms wired into a computer system that lets them see their vital signs, medicines and the name and photograph of the hospital staffer who enters their room. All 191 rooms at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital are now equipped with Smart Room technology. The Detroit Medical Center plans to add it in the next few years on its Harper and Hutzel hospitals’ medical and surgical floors.”
