Investment in recruitment and retaining a highly trained, expert care team dedicated to service excellence is equally, if not more important. A critical piece of the vision statement included in the article recognized that in order to improve people’s lives and be a leader in cardiovascular care, the facility is but one part of the requirements. Only months after opening, the Ross Heart Hospital was featured in the Spring 2005 American Heart Hospital Journal spotlight series. As a result, the Ross Heart Hospital is uniquely positioned to continue its world-class leadership in advanced cardiovascular research and education, as well as in patient care. The on-campus location allows full physical plant and organizational and operational integration with the Dorothy M Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute, the OSU College of Medicine and Public Health, and the OSU Hospitals. The vision and strategic planning that went into the design of the Ross Heart Hospital continue to promote the type of care that validates the institutional commitment to the patient with cardiovascular disease.
The design concepts, organizational structure, and operational models, which were theoretical and highly questioned in the planning stages, have proved to be exceedingly effective in providing care to patients with cardiovascular disease.
Nearly five years after completion, the Ross Heart Hospital facility, which is still only one of a few academic hospitals specializing in cardiovascular care, continues to undergo remarkable facility and clinical growth.
The multidisciplinary team approach ensures quality and a personalized patient experience at the Ross Heart Hospital. This specialty hospital features a conceptually unique, easily modifiable design that allows the integration of medical, surgical, and procedural cardiovascular staff and physicians to provide seamless care within a single facility. The Ohio State University (OSU) Richard M Ross Heart Hospital opened in November 2004 as one of the nation’s first fully integrated academic hospitals dedicated to comprehensive cardiovascular patient care.
