Orthopaedic Institute
University of Missouri Health Care
Columbia, Missouri
The decision by the board clears the way for detailed design work and groundbreaking later in 2007. Final architectural drawings are not yet completed, but the primary features of the $52 million, 90,000-square-foot Orthopaedic Institute will be:
- Five operating rooms
- Two procedure rooms
- 18 inpatient beds
- Imaging: One MRI, three radiology rooms
- 40 exam rooms, with shell space for 12 more rooms
- Pharmacy
The new facility is the first step toward bringing the entire Department of Orthopaedic Surgery together under one roof for the first time in years. Currently, orthopaedic clinics are housed at McHaney Hall and the University Physicians Medical Building, next to University Hospital; Columbia Regional Hospital, home of the Missouri Spine Center; the Missouri Hip and Knee Center, and the Missouri Foot and Ankle Center. The McHaney Hall clinic runs well beyond its capacity some days, with more than 150 patients and a small waiting area. In addition, the department currently has no research space on campus.
The institute is based on a new model for specialty facilities, focusing on providing all services related to orthopaedic care at a single location, moving patients efficiently and comfortably through the process. This “one-stop shopping” will improve the continuity of care and patient satisfaction.
