First new full-service, acute care hospital built in Northeast Ohio in 28 years.

Four-story, 300,000 square-foot hospital was built on the belief that everything should revolve around patients and their families.

Evidence-Based Design: TriPoint features the latest, life-saving technology and an evidence-based patient- and family-centered environment. Principles of evidence-based design—a concept that links the quality of the hospital environment to patient outcomes—have been integrated throughout the facility. From the elegant interior filled with natural light and private patient rooms with views of natural greenery and streams to the healing gardens and dedicated family areas, everything about TriPoint is designed to increase comfort and safety and speed healing.

State-Of-The-Art Technology: Digital and wireless technology is integrated throughout the hospital to speed the flow of decision-making information to medical professionals and improve the quality of care. An Electronic Health Record system and filmless, digital radiology systems provide up-to-the-minute information and fully integrate with electronic information at other Lake Health facilities.  Other technologies include:

• IV “smart pumps” wirelessly monitor settings and sound an alert to prevent dosage errors.
• ID bracelets are bar-coded, along with every dose of medication and every lab specimen taken at bedside. Everything is scanned and wirelessly matched at each patient encounter to ensure safety.
• Monitors, pumps and other medical equipment can move with patients, sending continuous data wirelessly to each patient’s EHR.
• AcuDose-Rx automated medication ordering, storage, retrieval and dispensers replace handwritten and manual processes where most medication errors occur.

Private Patient Rooms: One of the only hospitals in Northeast Ohio with all private patient rooms. All 119 rooms are divided into three zones—one for the patient, one for the family, and one for the caregiver. Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, a private bath, and a 42” flat panel television, which doubles as digital picture frame for soothing artwork and provides access to educational and entertainment programming.

Dedicated Family Areas: Along with 24-hour unrestricted visitation, every patient room includes a “family zone” with sleeper sofa and Internet access, and every floor offers “nourishment nooks” and glassed-in respite areas where visitors can de-compress, renewing body and spirit amid natural light and outdoor views.  Inside and out, space is set aside to help families cope with the stress of a loved one’s hospitalization: a Meditation Room with a relaxing water feature, a fireside seating area, an outdoor healing garden with water sculpture, courtyard dining with waterfall and a rotating art gallery.

Hotel-Like Amenities: Valet parking, concierge services, restaurant style dining
