The innovative new medical surgical floor – dedicated to elective surgeries such as joint and hip replacements, as well as bariatric and GI procedures — is now open, and it is just the latest example of how Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean University Medical Center is defining the future of health care by encouraging healing, promoting privacy, prioritizing family and helping doctors and nurses provide optimum care for patients.

Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean University Medical Center’s team of nurses partnered with architects and interior designers to create a healing environment that ensures safety, improves efficiency and provides an extraordinary patient experience. No detail was too small. Patients were even brought on tours, and their feedback was incorporated into the final design.

• Curved nurses’ stations that enhance nurses’ line-of-sight into patient rooms
• Curved walls and carpeted hallways that reduce noise
• “Nurse servers” that let nurses check information and supplies without disrupting patients
• Tracking boards that provide family members with more information about their loved one’s health and progress

• Artwork, colors and other touches designed to reduce stress and promote tranquility
• A dedicated zen room for doctors and nurses, encouraging mindfulness and focus
• Patient rooms that provide speaker systems, iPads and pull-out couches for family members
