Going global
New facility strives to build on region’s innovation reputation, change the face of health care
By Timothy Magaw
F
or years, the oft-talked about medical mart slated for construction in the heart of downtown Cleveland lacked any sort of defined strategy aside from its proponents arguing that it would somehow help fuel Northeast Ohio’s economic resurgence by capitalizing on the region’s reputation as ground zero for health care innovation. But over the last year, as the hulking complex rose from the earth, Jim Bennett, the man steering the transformative project along with a team of Northeast Ohio’s brightest minds in health care, have put a more reassuring — and forward-looking — face on the medical mart and its adjoining convention center. It’s a strategy that has included dropping the ‘mart’ concept altogether and rebranding the complex as the Global Center for Health Innovation. The facility that Mr. Bennett and others speak of today isn’t mart-like at all, and it won’t serve necessarily as a one-stop shopping center for health care professionals looking for the latest and greatest health care widgets and supplies. You won’t find in the complex, for instance, a company hawking what it claims are the finest office supplies for use in a hospital. Instead, Mr. Bennett and others talk of a facility that will serve as a catalyst for fundamental improvements in health care. With its roster of tenants and their state-of-the-art spaces, the Global Center will showcase the best of what’s possible. The concept appears to have resonated, as the center has attracted a slate of high-profile spaceholders, including the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, or HIMSS — a deal that was heralded as a game changer for the center.

“The biggest hurdles have been overcome, but the next one is when we’re up and operating, that it’s interesting and engaging By Timothy Magaw when people come in,” said Mr. Bennett, CEO of the Global Center for Health Innovation and the Cleveland Convention Center. “We believe it will be, but the test is, are the individual spaces as appealing and interesting as we all think they will be?” The center has been described by some as the Epcot of health care, and its leaders have gone as far as suggesting the facility will alter dramatically the face of health care by 2015. And with nothing else quite like it in the world, the Global Center’s architects and biggest cheerleaders see that as an attainable goal. “I think we’ve identified a huge area that is virtually untouched,” said Cleveland Clinic CEO Dr. Toby Cosgrove, a longtime proponent of the medical mart concept. “Why would this not be a natural? I kind of laughed when people said it never worked before. It never failed before either. It had never been built.”
Pressure to perform The total cost for the Global Center and the adjoining convention center hovered at about $465 million, all of which was ponied up by taxpayers through an expansion of Cuyahoga County’s sales and hotel room taxes. And because the complex was born on the back of taxpayers, its developers are keenly aware of the high expectations swirling around the project. “There will be no lack of good ways to judge success,” Mr. Bennett said. Like the convention center, the Global Center’s economic firepower will ultimately be judged by how many out-of-towners it
can bring into Northeast Ohio who will pump fresh dollars into the missed immediately because it didn’t fit what the center was hoping local economy. Mr. Bennett suspects the center’s success also will to accomplish. “The ‘Global’ (part of the name) is not because some guys in be benchmarked against how well it lures in locals. “Can this become an attraction like the Rock and Roll Hall of Cleveland were sitting here and claiming it to be grandiose,” Mr. Bennett said. “It’s because it’s true.

our first tendency upon entering the Global Center for Health Innovation will be to look up at three floors of glassenclosed suites marked with influential company names that frame a dramatic atrium. The reaction could be considered symbolic for the direction in which these industry power players are moving as they surround visitors with the state-of-the-art innovations that are revolutionizing health care — and all under one roof. The Global Center’s mix of 22 anchor tenants and more than 150 associated companies are a culmination of the efforts among four key center leaders — Jim Bennett, Barbara McBee, David Ricco and David Shute. “You don’t have to go to 20 different U.S. cities to see a bunch of individual state-of-the-art spaces,” said Mr. Ricco, director of leasing. “You can see them all here in one space. There’s nothing else like this in the world.” Take University Hospitals and medical imaging partner Philips Healthcare, whose collaborative 4,600-square-foot suite highlights imaging and radiology equipment and can metamorphose into a space suitable for such specialties as pediatrics or cardiology, depending on which groups are visiting. There’s also the intelligent flooring exhibit from Forbo Flooring Systems, which talks to caregivers and patients. “So I’m a nurse, and I have to wash my hands before I enter the room. The floor will remind me to if I walk in the room and forget to do so,” said Dave Johnson, the center’s public relations and marketing director. “If a patient gets out of bed without a walker, and is supposed to use a walker, the floor will say something to the patient.”
Museum, Epcot and sales office The suites will open in phases, with the first 11 scheduled to come online in October, and another five in the planning stages or under construction. The charter tenants represent some of the most prominent organizations in the health care industry. Their names are on hospital beds, surgical glove boxes, ultrasound software and a swath of other industry-related products and technologies. A handful are locally based — including SmartShape, Hyland Software, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Sisters of Charity Health System, MetroHealth, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Skills and Simulation Center and BioEnterprise — but nearly all are globally oriented. “The mix is overwhelmingly international in scope,” said Jim Bennett, CEO of the Global Center for Health Innovation and the Cleveland Convention Center. “We’ve had such support from the local health care, civic and government institutions in facilitating this world-class facility.”

Organizers over the last year and a half have been cherrypicking health care companies that align with the center’s mission of demonstrating what is possible in health care through product commercialization, innovation and collaboration. “We’ve had a steady stream of inquiries from all over the world,” Mr. Ricco said. One common thread, said Ms. McBee, director of operations and programming, is that the suites are designed to welcome people into discovery and exploration. Suites will integrate cutting-
edge technologies and interactive displays surrounded by vibrant aesthetics. “It’s like a cross between a museum, Epcot and a sales office,” said Mr. Shute, senior strategic adviser. The Global Center for Health Innovation is about 70% leased, though leaders aren’t concerned with filling the remaining suites. The team of Mr. Bennett, Ms. McBee and Messrs. Ricco and Shute said they are fielding calls from “dozens” of companies throughout the world seeking a Jim Bennett presence at the innovation center. Leaders continue to curate a selection that complements its current tenant mix. They are, for example, interested in an innovative health care furniture manufacturer and a pharmaceutical operation. “The question is not, ‘How do we fill the space?’” Mr. Johnson said. “The question is, ‘How do they fill our space?’”
Patient-Centered Innovation and The Next Generation Workforce Education and Training
At ABIA, we provide a place where professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds can collaborate to improve healthcare. By combining our efforts, we can provide a unique resource for companies and researchers to design, test and commercialize medical devices.

What’s in it for the tenants? The interconnectivity of both current and prospective suiteholders no doubt will be beneficial to a region that already has a global reputation for its health care and biomedical industry assets. And for the companies and entities that have committed to filling space, they say the visibility linked to the Global Center is what makes the location attractive. Stephen Norton, director of corporate communications and government affairs for Steris, noted that when the medical equipment maker was founded in 1981, only a handful of biomedical companies existed in Ohio. “Now there are more than 600 biomedical companies, and about half are in Northeast Ohio,” he said. “The center is a significant investment that leverages the strengths of the region.” Steris’s involvement with the center means it can expand its product education methods, which currently include bringing to its Mentor headquarters customers from all over the world to view its latest disinfection, sterilization and other operating room products. Its presence at the Global Center exposes those technologies to an even larger pool of potential clients — which include large health care facility construction companies, architects, physicians, nurses and hospital leadership. “The center feeds our product development pipeline,” he said. GE Healthcare, which was the first company to announce a partnership with the Global Center, also is looking forward to bolstering its role in influencing health care outcomes. “With the different themes, the center shows how we can impact patient care and improve outcomes. It truly is a confluence of innovation, education and commerce,” said Ramya Singh, of GE Healthcare. “The greatest minds in the country will be able to converge to showcase what is feasible today and what is possible tomorrow.” n

Four floors, four different themes The Global Center for Health Innovation is a combination of individual and multi-organizational spaces that are designed to be accessible and interactive, with the main goal being to showcase each company’s commercial offerings. Four themed floors highlight companies with focuses that include information technology and medical devices as well as health systems and health care support. Spaces range from 630 square feet to more than 30,000 square feet, with no two suites the same in size or scope. The average lease is five years, and companies will be periodically refreshing their exhibits to showcase the latest in products and capabilities. Floor-to-ceiling glass infuses each suite with natural light and provides impressive views of downtown and the lakefront while fostering synergies between leaseholders. l Visitors begin their journey on the first level’s Health and Home Section, which includes a welcome center and 2,000-squarefoot state-of-the-art home. l The second floor is dedicated to People, Patients and Caregivers, with suites that

include the Cleveland’s Clinic’s journey through cardiovascular disease and Mentor-based Steris’s sterilization products. High-tech hospital vendor GE Healthcare has committed its space for a journey through breast cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Innovative equipment will appeal to commercial users while the public learns more about those conditions. l The third floor’s Clinical Spaces theme features companies with the mission of creating the most efficient and effective clinical spaces, with complementing products and services that enhance patient treatment. Creating these spaces can include tech-
nology that enhances a patient experience (Cisco Systems, Forbo Flooring Systems, Hyland Software); various types of equipment and construction practices within the clinical setting (Black Diamond, UH/ Philips, Gleeson Construction); or the systems within a clinical setting (Johnson Controls and its various partners), said Dave Johnson, the center’s public relations and marketing director. These clinical spaces aim to optimize quality of care, access to health care and reduce costs. l Chicago-based Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society resides on the fourth floor, occupying 30,000 square feet, or the equivalent of about 15 suites. HIMSS plans to expand into the entire 36,000 square feet by 2016. The venerable medical organization will dedicate part of that real estate to a permanent space for its interoperability showcase, which as part of its annual five-day convention draws about 50,000 clinicians, technicians and decision-makers. ─ Kathy Ames Carr
Hospital systems to work as partners MetroHealth System, the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Sisters of Charity Health System already provide a large chunk of patient care in the Cleveland area. Now, those same four are working together in the Welcome Center at the Global Center for Health Innovation. Each hospital is contributing an equal financial sponsorship to the center, which will serve as a concierge station at the four-story building on St. Clair Avenue. Global Center staff at the Welcome Center will be available to help guests navigate the facility as well as to explain what events are taking place. There also will be space available for the four hospital systems to host programming. Visitors also can be referred to outside health care settings in Northeast Ohio to witness the center’s technologies in action. University Hospitals CEO Tom Zenty initially presented the concept of a joint welcome center to the Cuyahoga County Medical Mart Advisory Panel, said Dave Johnson, the center’s public relations and marketing director. “You develop working relationships by just being present,” said Sister Judith Ann Karam, the immediate past president and CEO for Sisters of Charity and current board member. And, these relationships could transcend the center. “It opens the

door for future collaboration opportunities,” said Ron Dziedzicki, UH’s chief operating officer. The Global Center will have doctors and nurses from the four hospital systems working side by side, said Dr. Akram Boutros, CEO at MetroHealth Systems. He hopes that soon hospital executives will be, too. Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove, for one, sees the center as benefitting more than just the Cleveland health care industry, but rather as something that will jumpstart Northeast Ohio’s economy. And he’s not alone. Cosgrove “Having the four ma- Boutros jor hospital systems in a community at a welcome center is an important symbol of how important the GCHI is for the community,” said Sister Judith Ann. ─ Laura Straub Karam Zenty

THE FUTURE IS HERE
ne organization, more than any other, stands at the center of the biggest trend in health care. It’s not a hospital or a company. It’s the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. If the health care industry is ever to get to the point where information can flow flawlessly between doctors, hospitals and patients all over the world, HIMSS will play a key role, according to several people interviewed by Crain’s Cleveland Business. So it’s no wonder there’s excitement about HIMSS taking over the fourth floor of the Global Center for Health Innovation. The HIMSS Innovation Center — which will occupy 30,000 square feet when it opens but is expected to expand into the remaining 6,000 square feet within two years — is intended to serve as both a showcase for how information technology is changing health care and as a place where companies and hospitals can test their software and work together to shape the health care industry’s digital future. Recruiting HIMSS was a big coup for the Global Center and Greater Cleveland, according to Jim Bennett, who is CEO of both the Global Center and the Cleveland Convention Center. Among the Chicago-based association’s members are nearly all of the people making decisions about how hospitals and physician offices use information technology. Among its members — 52,000 individuals, 600 corporations and 250 nonprofits — are hospital chief information officers, big companies that sell electronic medical record systems and startups developing new health care technology. HIMSS brings them all together in a neutral forum where they can figure out how to make their software work together and solve problems using IT.

Ever see those little robotic cars that drive around in the tunnels under the Cleveland Clinic? Getting those little robotic cars up and running was a challenge, according to Dr. Martin Harris, chief information officer at the Clinic. The challenge shows why people in the health care industry are so Dr. Harris concerned about interoperability — in other words, getting one piece of software to work with other programs. The example also shows why hospitals will use the interoperability system that the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society will make available on the fourth floor of the Global Center for Health Innovation, said Dr. Harris, who a few years ago served as chair of HIMSS. The robots deliver supplies throughout the Clinic’s main campus. That process starts when a doctor places an order in the Clinic’s electronic medical record system. That system then communicates with the Clinic’s supply chain software, which is made by another company. That software tells a machine at the Clinic’s service center to grab the supplies that the doctor wants and put it on the robot for delivery. “Now health care has a home for that interoperability testing” at the HIMSS Innovation Center, he said.

‘It’s a dream’ University Hospitals is so excited about the interoperability system that it is establishing a fiber optic Internet connection that goes straight to the Global Center, said John Foley, CIO at UH. The availability of the HIMSS interoperability system was one factor that led UH to enter a verbal agreement with Allscripts, the company that makes UH’s electronic medical record system, Mr. Foley said. Under the agreement — there’s no signed contract yet — Allscripts will look to UH when it needs a hospital system to pilot a new technology. Plus, UH will develop technologies to complement Allscripts’ software, with the help of the HIMSS interoperability system. Viable technologies could be licensed out or spun off as startup companies, he added.

Sector growth spurt Three years ago, just 6% of the inventions coming out of the Cleveland Clinic were based on information technology. Today that number is more like 20% — and it probably will reach 30% three years from now, according to Gary Fingerhut, interim executive director of Cleveland Clinic Innovations, the hospital system’s business development arm. The health IT industry is in the middle of a huge upswing, which is a big reason why many local health care executives are excited to see the Health Information Management Systems Society establish a presence in Cleveland. Interest in health IT has Nationwide, health IT been growing for years, but it exploded when the startups attracted $849 federal government passed million during the first half the American Recovery and of 2013, more than double Reinvestment Act of 2009. Tucked into the economic the $343 million raised stimulus bill were laws during the same period giving hospitals financial two years earlier. incentives to adopt electronic medical record systems Source: Rock Health and put them to good use. After that bill passed, individual memberships in HIMSS started going up by more than 20% each year. The increase slowed to 10% last year, still relatively high compared to previous years. Local institutions have been trying to capitalize on the demand for health IT products. For instance, the Clinic has spun off four health care IT companies in the past three years, and for a while it has been discussing the idea of dedicating an entire building to startup companies in that industry, Mr. Fingerhut said. For now, the building that used to house the Cleveland Play House is the Clinic’s de facto health IT building. It is home to Explorys, a patient data analysis company that has grown to about 90 employees since it was founded in 2009. Though University Hospitals typically hasn’t developed and spun off many of its own technologies, the health IT trend is pushing UH to focus more on product development. A UH spinout called Socrates Analytics, which is marketing software designed to help hospitals make financial decisions, recently hired former McKesson Health Solutions executive Jim Evans as its first full-time CEO. The hospital system also has struck a verbal agreement with Allscripts to help the electronic medical record system maker experiment with its software. Startups aren’t the only companies benefiting from the health IT boom. After the federal stimulus bill set off a wave of interest in health IT, Alego Health started focusing less on health care staffing and more on health IT consulting. The move has paid off, according to Jonathan Levoy, vice president of business development and technology for the Westlake company, which will have a booth on HIMSS’ floor in the Global Center and will help the association create content for its presentations. Today, Alego Health employs about 25, plus more than 200 independent consultants who help health care providers implement and manage software and hardware systems. ─ Chuck Soder

W
hen it comes to managing one’s medical care, sometimes there is no better place than home. Trends in mobile medical technology increasingly are making it possible for individuals with chronic illnesses, at-risk conditions, injuries or other disabilities to live at home, instead of a long-term care facility. The Global Center for Health Innovation’s state-of-the-art home is an entry point to the most cutting-edge health and wellness accommodations that make it possible for those individuals to thrive in a residential setting. “It’s the quintessential space because it is a summary of the Global Center for Health Innovation,” said David Shute, senior strategic adviser. “Its theme reflects the center’s mission of improving access to health care, lowering costs and achieving better health care outcomes. It’s educational and commercial.” The 2,000-square-foot home at the Global Center incorporates a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, each occupied with a different “virtual person” who will share how he or she is able to thrive at home using that room’s equipment and services. “The state-of-the-art home was conceived to bring together and display the wide range of products, services and technology that are available outside of institutional settings and within the home,” said Jim Bennett, CEO of the

Global Center for Health Innovation and Cleveland Convention Center. Sponsors ranging from manufacturers of wheelchairs, lighting and therapeutic paint to health and wellness smart phone applications are integrating their products into the home. The collaborative space, located on the first floor of the center, targets potential consumers as well as health systems, payers and others who may be financing care, Mr. Shute said. The home demonstrates how completely and costeffectively individuals can be cared for outside of a medical facility. Located in Suite 105, the state-of-theart home not only is an access point for the center’s upper three floors, but also to the adjacent convention center, organizers point out. Therefore, the home will be accessible to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. There also will be an open, non-themed space for additional sponsor stories that don’t align with a specific room or virtual person, such as health and wellness apps, said Mr. Shute, who helped conceptualize each character’s story. This great room integrates interactive tables, displays and monitors that contain tools for living and learning. Sponsor websites, product literature, quick response codes and a free telephone service also will be available for visitors to get more information about a product or service. n
A prominent movement in health care is the shift of treatment from hospital to the home, which reduces health system costs, according to the “North American Home Healthcare Market by Product, Services & Telehealth — Forecasts to 2017,” published in May 2013 by Research and Markets, an international market research firm. Plus, patients prefer the comforts of their own home to a hospital or long-term care setting, which, in many cases, improves quality of life. The transition from institutional to home health care monitoring is opening up new opportunities in the home health care market, the report said, which in 2012 was valued at $90.9 billion and expected to reach $130.4 billion in 2017. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says four factors are contributing to the rise in home healthcare: l We are living longer and want to age in place with dignity l We have more chronic, complex conditions l We’re leaving the hospital earlier and need more intensive care l Sophisticated medical technology has moved from medical offices into our living rooms and bedrooms. The home health care product category includes home care testing, screening and monitoring devices, home health care therapeutic equipment, mobility assistance and other devices. “The state–of-the-art home captures much of the existing technology along with products and services across a wide spectrum of care that are currently available as part of the home health care trend, allowing people to remain in their homes safely and happily as long as possible,” said Jim Bennett, the Global Center’s CEO. n

The 2013 summit will mark the 11th year for the annual Cleveland Clinic event.
An innovation showcase Annual Cleveland Clinic event will mark official opening of Global Center
T
he Global Center for Health Innovation is the perfect setting for the Cleveland Clinic’s Medical Innovation Summit. Not only is the facility designed to be a showcase for all that is possible in health care, its location near the shore of Lake Erie is destined to bring attention to Northeast Ohio. The same, of course, can be said of the Clinic’s annual innovations event, so it’s fitting that the summit will mark the official opening of the four-floor facility linked to the city’s new convention center. Dr. Thomas Graham, the Clinic’s chief innovation officer, said the summit is one of the institution’s main events, drawing more than 1,000 of the top minds in health care. He said the summit, in its 11th year, aims to focus on themes that have extremely high impact, topics that are at the nexus of what’s happening in health care. “We want to develop a catalytic platform,” he said. “We think we’re in position to lead as an organization.” This year, the focus of the summit is on “Finding Balance through Innovation,” with a focus in particular on innovations that will lead to more effective treatments for obesity and diabetes. The Oct. 14-16 event will bring to the Global Center such big-name speakers and panelists as George S. Barrett, chairman and CEO of Cardinal Health; former Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle; and Mark T. Bertolini, chairman, CEO and president of Aetna.n

FROM THE CLEVELAND CLINIC Fellow innovators, Cleveland, long-known as one of America’s foremost industrial engines, has now also become a nationally recognized knowledge-based economy. At the center of that advancement is our primacy in healthcare and life sciences. Cleveland Clinic Innovations is an international leader in stimulating, developing and divesting the creative thought emanating from our campuses and those of our partnered institutions. For example, CCI has gestated 60 spinoff companies that have garnered more than $700 million of equity investment and created over 1,000 regional jobs. The 11th Annual Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit will convene an international audience of thought leaders to explore the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Contemporary breakthroughs will be identified, as well as tomorrow’s solutions glimpsed through the collective vision of attendees from all parts of the healthcare ecosystem. It is fitting that this focal event be the inaugural meeting in our new Global Center for Health Innovation, Cleveland’s new downtown jewel and gathering place for regional, national and international collaborators. From Oct. 14-16, 2013, the Medical Innovation Summit will be the “center of the medical innovation universe.” I hope you’ll join us to learn, share, think and enjoy. Dr. Thomas J. Graham Chief Innovation Officer & Justice Family Chair in Medical Innovation
Top 10 list celebrates change One of the highlights each year of the Cleveland Clinic’s Innovation Summit is the unveiling of the Top Ten Innovations for the coming year. The list is intended to highlight advancements that are expected by Clinic physicians and leaders to bring about the top changes in their fields. “We want to celebrate these as great innovations,” said Dr. Michael Roizen, who chairs the selection process for the Cleveland Clinic. “Celebrate people who are making changes in medicine constantly … celebrate the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland is a center for innovation.” Dr. Roizen said the process is extensive — starting this year with a list of about 130 suggestions that then are cut down after runoff dinners and voting.
The innovations are not always medical procedures. Indeed, one of the innovations selected last year for 2013 were health care programs with monetary incentives. Additionally, the goal is not to highlight any specific company or commercial entity. The focus is intended to be on the innovation or procedure, Dr. Roizen said. The list typically garners a lot of attention each year, earning placement in national journals and even international publications, such as The Irish Times and The Jerusalem Post. To receive consideration, nominated technologies have to meet the following criteria, according to the Clinic: l The innovation must have significant clinical impact and offer significant patient benefit in comparison to current practices.
It must also have high user-related functionality that improves health care delivery. l Nominated innovations must have a high probability of commercial success. l The innovation must be in or exiting clinical trials and be available on the market sometime in the coming year. l The innovation must have significant human interest in its application or benefits, and must have the ability to visualize human impact. This year the unveiling of the top innovations will take place Wednesday, Oct. 16, the last day of the 2013 summit. “There is a huge amount of innovation and medical startup in this community,” Dr. Roizen said. “It isn’t just around San Francisco or New York that innovation is happening.” n
Diabetes, obesity take center stage Bariatric surgery for the control of diabetes made headlines during last year’s Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit. It garnered top billing as the No. 1 Medical Innovation for 2013, and this year it no doubt will be making headlines again as part of the summit’s focus on diabetes and obesity. “They really are a pair of diseases that belong together,” said Dr. Philip Schauer, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. The summit will include discussions on fighting obesity, investing in solutions for metabolic disorders and medications for treating overweight patients. Dr. Schauer, who will participate in a panel focused on surgical weight-loss procedures, said the majority of patients with Type 2 diabetes are not in good control. “Surgery is the most promising treatment,” he said. “It’s the best thing going.” Dr. Schauer served as lead investigator in a randomized, controlled trial that showed some weight-loss surgery patients achieved normal blood sugar levels without use of any diabetes
medications. In others, the need for insulin to control blood sugar was eliminated. Unfortunately, Dr. Schauer said, many insurance companies have not necessarily caught up with the current science. Therefore, oftentimes a surgical treatment for diabetes is not covered, especially if the patient does not meet predetermined obesity thresholds for weightloss surgery. By zeroing in on the subject as part of the summit, Dr. Schauer said not only will the health care community take note; it also may help to inform insurance companies of the possibilities associated with the treatment. “It’s a very, very expensive disease,” he said. Indeed, for a 50-year-old diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the lifetime cost is estimated to be $175,000, and for a newly diagnosed 30-yearold that cost rises to more than $300,000. The cost of weight loss surgery: $25,000. Of course, insurance companies are not the only potential beneficiaries. “It’s essentially as close to a cure as you can get,” Dr. Schauer said. “Can you imagine what that does to someone’s life?” n

No two spaces alike
Designers worked to make suites unique while capturing each organization’s mission By Kathy Ames Carr Vocon’s project leaders met with each clients and asked them how their space should represent their mission and business model. GE Healthcare, for example, wanted to display its MRI equipment, so Vocon designers collaborated with the maker of medical technologies and services on how to maximize the user experience within its 3,400-square-foot suite. “We probably went through seven-plus iterations,” designer Nick Faehnle said. “They didn’t want an end or beginning to the story. So instead of a museum or garden with a path based on order, we integrated their story and capabilities without having such a defined space.”

GE Healthcare United Kingdom Suites 213, 214; 3,363 square feet The GE Healthcare Patient Journey space in the Global Center will present the whole continuum of care, from screening to surveillance, said GE Healthcare’s Ramya Singh. The exhibit will map three patient journeys in the areas of oncology, cardiology and neurology. It will examine unique treatments for breast cancer, chest pain and stroke through interactive digital displays, facilitated through touch-screen monitors, display equipment and descriptions detailing the operation of GE hardware, wetware and software. GE also will display its MRI breast coil and X-ray technology, which are manufactured in Northeast Ohio. At this point, the medical equipment only will be for display and not live demonstration. (GE plans to be in the space for at least the next five years; future changes to the space could include additions of demonstrations and simulations.) “We want to make the showroom a permanent living-learning laboratory, where we can showcase our connected technologies that enable end-to-end patient care, experiment with our displays for global conferences and host customer
meetings and advisory boards,” said Ms. Singh. Ms. Singh expects the Global Center and convention center to be a hub for health care innovation in the future. She said that the value of the space hinges on the number of clinicians, health care professionals and innovators who pass through the space.
Cleveland Clinic Cleveland Suite 223, 224; 3,164 square feet The Cleveland Clinic is putting a lot of heart into its space at the Global Center. The Clinic is concentrating its patient journey wall on cardiac care, following the stories of several patients using a combination of interactive touch-screen monitors, iPad applications and 3-D printers generating images of the heart. Conference space also is allotted for talks and seminars. The exhibits in the space will show a patientcentric model of care to the public. “The patient journey wall will change out,” said Mary Curran, senior director of executive administration at the Clinic. In addition to periodic changes of the wall, the
Clinic will add programming based on events taking place at the convention center. “That’s what will keep it fresh,” said Ms. Curran. The Clinic also will give Global Center visitors access to a community lounge area, a space that looks out over the lake, Ms. Curran said. The space will feature an immersion theater, highlighting daily moments in the Cleveland Clinic enterprise. “I believe that this inviting space will encourage collaboration and will really feature Cleveland Clinic experts,” Ms. Curran said. In addition to the unique interaction the Global Center facilitates, Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove expects it to be a boon for the Northeast Ohio community. “The Cleveland Clinic is interested in having an economically thriving Northeast Ohio,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons we’re supporting it.”
MetroHealth Cleveland Suite 201; 2,957 square feet MetroHealth CEO Dr. Akram Boutros said much of the focus of the health care system’s space at the Global Center will be on showing the effects of new technology at
work in health care and how those new technologies touch the patient’s life. “We’re not talking robotics or hightech lasers,” Dr. Boutros said. What Metro is talking about, however, are displays of research and technology that are designed to show how they impact the population. Dr. Boutros referred to a recent study on weight gain as a potential exhibit. Instead of firing new technologies at visitors, Metro would include multimedia information about the subjects of the study, information on the effects of obesity on life expectancy and even models of human organs that are subjected to weight gain. The exhibits will provide a threefaceted approach to the information presented in the research: a look at researcher’s data sets; the impact the information presented in the study has on human physiology; and interventions and proposed courses of action for anyone who may be grappling with a similar issue. “We excel at impacting the population,” Dr. Boutros said. Dr. Boutros is excited about this unique approach that Metro has to offer the community, but his underlying focus is showing support for the tradition of excellent health care in Cleveland. continued on Page 24

He hopes the space in the Center will increase connectivity with the community and ultimately help Metro provide improved care and better overall health at a lower cost. “We wanted to show support for creating a national hub for health care innovation,” Dr. Boutros said.
Steris Mentor Suites 215, 216; 2,586 square feet Steris historically has been a leader in central sterile processing and surgical care. However, through the recent acquisitions of US Endoscopy and Spectrum Surgical Instruments, the company has expanded its reach, and it hopes to use the Global Center to introduce end users to new offerings of products and services. Heather Campine, senior director of corporate accounts and operations for Steris, said the ability to touch a clinician who is not aware of the full Steris product line would define the success of the Global Center space. Steris will be outfitting the space with multimedia elements such as video footage of Steris products in use and touch-screen displays that lead visitors through demonstration cycles. The space also will include some hands-on displays of Steris products that visitors can see in person.
