Delaware children's hospital expansion designed with patient input
Healthcare Design magazine offers first look at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children project
Healthcare Design magazine's website offers a first look at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children expansion project. The Wilmington, Dela., facility's design was created with input from patients and their families. Features include 220-square-foot, single-patient rooms with distinct areas for patients, family and caregivers. Each room contains separate TVs for patients and family and a convertible bed for sleepovers.

The program was established to help rural hospitals maintain local access to care by providing additional flexibility through a cost-based Medicare reimbursement model.
