Toronto, Ontario, Canada: A new hospital in Vaughan has opened its doors and is now accepting patients. Maleeha Sheikh gets a tour of what officials are calling Canada's "first smart hospital."
Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital (formerly Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital) is a hospital in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. Construction of the hospital was completed in September 2020. It opened on 7 February 2021. It is operated by Mackenzie Health, which also operates Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital. Its construction cost about C$1.7 billion.
The hospital is situated on a 25-hectare property on the northwest corner of Jane Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, adjacent to Canada's Wonderland.
This new hospital is pretty interesting. It has smart sensing computers (that track where people go: which room, wash hands and so on), a state-of-the-art emergency department, modern surgical services, advanced diagnostic imaging, ambulatory clinics and intensive care beds.
