St. Anthony Shawnee Hospital is building an addition with new rooms that will include nursing pods that bring nursing staff closer to patients, according to an article on The Shawnee News-Star website.
The Shawnee, Okla., hospital's addition will be 119,000 square feet and three stories tall. The new three-story tower will house the Women’s Center, intensive care unit and inpatient surgery department.
The intensive care unit will feature 16 rooms with nursing pods between two rooms. Like the intensive care unit, the Women’s Center will have nursing pods — also called hoteling stations. The Women's Center will also include six labor and delivery rooms and 18 private postpartum suites to provide mothers with room and privacy following their delivery.
