With this hospital being the first of its kind, there are many benefits to the patients’ experience that allow doctors and nurses to focus more on caring and healing. For example, robots deliver patients non-narcotic drugs and other supplies; diagnostic images like MRI scans are charted immediately so specialists can review them in a timely manner and patients are able to check-in on self-serve kiosk stands that automate their records and are able to notify the relevant care teams that a patient is in the building.

Additionally, as well as being technologically advanced, Humber River Hospital is also taking the steps to become environmentally friendly. This hospital was built to adhere to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. These types of buildings focus on having a healthy indoor environment while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making sure energy and water are being used efficiently.
