Hospitals becoming more like hotels - part II
Add NYU Langone Medical Center to the list of facilities creating a better class of hospital room. It debuts The Critical Care Center, an intensive care unit in Tisch Hospital that promises plenty of extras thrown in with medical care.
As previously reported, hospitals are adding creature comforts to their wards. 
Tisch Hospital promises the ward will include 18 ICU beds; all but one will be private. Each will have a large window view of New York City, brand new equipment, flat-screen televisions and more elbow room. It will also have its own 24/7 intensivist physicians with advanced critical care board certification.
Other features include computerized charting, multi-patient video surveillance technology and patient simulator technology. Another 17 beds will be built this summer.
