As has been the trend in every new hospital built in San Diego County over the past decade, the Ocean View Tower increases the square footage of pretty much every space, but especially patient rooms, which are large enough for visiting family members to stay over when loved ones are admitted for care. Special elevator systems are in place to serve six new and extremely-spacious operating rooms that keep clean, dirty and sterilized streams of equipment physically separate.
And there are hand-washing stations just inside patient rooms, making it easier for busy nurses to quickly wash their hands in-between patients. Private rather than shared rooms also help with infection control as does modern heating and air conditioning design that makes it harder for airborne germs to travel from one patient to another. Ten new surgical intensive care rooms, each private with its own bathroom, are situated on the second floor, as close as possible to the new operating suites.
Preparing on a recent morning for the state inspections that must be passed before the tower can open for patients, Eloisa Salinas, an ICU nurse who has worked at Sharp Chula Vista for nearly 40 years, said she is most excited about the sheer square footage of these new spaces and the privacy that they offer to patients. The public is invited to tour the new tower during a free open house on Saturday, Jan.
