IU Health medical center on former Wishard Hospital campus aims to maximize patient care and education for doctors in training.

The need was created when the former medical center along Senate Avenue was demolished to make way for the new IU Health Hospital on the medical campus in downtown Indianapolis.

Now, there are more than twice as many doctors staffing the new center, which makes it one of the largest family medicine practices in the state, said These “donut-shaped” pods with the “hole” of the provider room in the middle help decrease traffic in the patient hallway and place all the providers working the rooms in that pod in one space to help facilitate communication between staff.The new design leads to enhanced patient privacy as medical staff are not clustered in a hallway, with patients walking by computers open to other patients' medical records. Decreasing congestion in the halls makes it easier for patients to navigate.

In the old space, one might have to walk from one end of the often crowded clinic to the other, Willis said. By bringing everyone into the same place, the shared space sparks more conversation between residents and faculty, said Dr. Molly Rettinger, a second-year resident in family medicine.
