Success Stories - Ohio Health and Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
Overview of Case Study
As part of the Central Ohio Hospital Council (COHC), OhioHealth and Ohio State Wexner Medical Center openly share best practices to improve patient outcomes and celebrate each other’s successes. In recent years, this has expanded into the facilities realm, where facilities managers collaborate to provide the best health care building environment for patients and visitors.
OhioHealth is a nationally recognized, not-for-profit health care system located in Ohio. With 35,000 associates, 12 hospitals and more than 200 additional sites, OhioHealth was presented with a major challenge to keep those associates safe while maintaining their locations to continue to provide world-class care.
