Tulsa,
Oklahoma - The new Tulsa Heart Hospital of Saint Francis in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, will provide a superb facility for advanced heart-related
procedures. The project, designed by Collins Reisenbichler Architects
and managed by Staubach, both of Dallas, Texas, is not only planning
current needs, but also anticipating future technological advancements.
The new multi-story facility will include a 141,000 sq. ft. hospital
and a 50,000 sq. ft. medical office building, and will be located
at the northwest corner of East 91st Street South and US Hwy 169
in Tulsa, on approximately 16 acres. In addition to the numerous
amenities found in a contemporary medical care facility, the hospital
will include three to four state-of-the-art surgical suites designed
specifically for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, as well as
the latest systems for infection control. The medical office building
will include a 9,000 sq. ft. catheterization laboratory and support
spaces for advanced catheter based procedures.
The hospital desires to implement a fully functioning and integrated
wireless/paperless system. The facility will utilize seamless data
integration that combines applications for finance/billing, inventory/materials
management, imaging, telemetry and archiving, order entry and medical
records.
To ensure that the technology and the systems are reliable and
scalable, Staubach has retained Trilliant Technology Group of Houston,
Texas, as the technology consultant for the project. Trilliant will
evaluate current communication technologies that best suit the needs
of the facility, and will also analyze trends to determine which
new and emerging technology should be anticipated. A robust infrastructure
that can support a variety of voice, data, nurse call, closed-circuit
television, cable and Internet applications will add greatly to
the sustainability of the new facility.
“Today’s medical
facilities are rife with technology,” states Bill
Koehler, President of Trilliant Technology Group, “but
the challenge is to provide a facility that will support the implementation
of the latest technologies as they become available. This flexibility
is what keeps a facility sustainable for the future, which is especially
critical when dealing with the emerging technologies in the field
of medical care.
Although the infrastructure of this building is important, it’s
the systems and applications that make this project unique and exciting.”
Ground breaking for the new Tulsa Heart Hospital of Saint Francis
began October 2002, with estimated completion in January of 2004.
