Misericordia Cancer Hospital

Embracing a new vision of health, the Misericordia Cancer Hospital introduces an innovative model of hospital care based on three key principles: the One Day Hospital model, the use of advanced technology, and the humanization of care.

Indeed, the CDTO is a next-generation cancer hospital that offers a human-centered environment—a place of welcome that is safe and comfortable, entirely focused on the patient, who is the core around which all healthcare and support initiatives revolve. The care model proposed by the new center is that of the One Day Hospital: a form of hospital care that, thanks to the speed and efficiency of the diagnostic phase, ensures that the patient stays in the facility only for the time strictly necessary for treatment and recovery, returning home as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary hospitalization.

The goal of the new CDTO is the early diagnosis of all neoplastic diseases, in line with the high diagnostic standards of Europe, ensuring a strong sense of humanization within the facility. This is achieved while fully respecting sustainable parameters both in patient care and hospitality, supporting family members through every stage of the care process in a multifunctional environment where no need is overlooked.

Maximum accuracy in diagnostic and analysis pathways is guaranteed by the center’s technological and digital excellence. The hospital positions itself as a smart hospital, equipped with cutting-edge technological and digital tools designed to enhance both the medical staff’s efficiency and the patient experience.

Thanks to this advanced technology, the building itself becomes more efficient. The One Day Hospital approach has inspired a rethinking of how care is delivered beyond the hospital’s physical boundaries, through the implementation of remote healthcare services. By leveraging artificial intelligence technologies, the CDTO offers an innovative approach to diagnostics and therapy, thereby increasing the chances of accurate diagnoses and appropriate, personalized treatment pathways. Through big data analysis, more precise diagnoses and prognoses can be made, considering scenarios and options that might otherwise be overlooked.

Medicine thus becomes predictive, capable of identifying and probabilistically evaluating the factors that, for a specific person in a given context, might contribute to the onset of disease—enabling earlier diagnosis and timely therapy.

Grounded in a strong humanization philosophy and perfectly aligned with Progetto CMR’s approach, the entire center has been designed to ensure maximum physical and psychological comfort for patients within a highly sustainable environment. Designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the facility was built to minimize environmental and energy impact, thanks to systems such as photovoltaics and rainwater collection and reuse mechanisms that aim to significantly reduce water and energy consumption.

But best practices extend beyond sustainability. Great attention has also been given to the well-being of all occupants. The center was developed using the WELL Building Standard protocol and features biophilic design, incorporating natural elements indoors to enhance environmental quality and positively impact occupants’ well-being and satisfaction. In this spirit, therapeutic gardens have been created near patient care areas—green spaces designed not only as places of escape and tranquility but also as true healing environments where patients can engage in physical or rehabilitative activities.

The result is an extraordinary facility, immersed in a natural setting—a human-centered oncology center capable of competing with the standards set by the best hospitals in Europe.
