A new model
The operational models of FSEDs are evolving to better meet the needs of this specialized patient type, too.
Patients who are administered care at an emergency room
have a wide range of care requirements, from relatively
simple sicknesses to life-threatening illness or trauma.
Quick understanding of the level of care needed, ease of
diagnostic access, and routing of patients to appropriate
care environments is of utmost importance. Algorithmbased triage, physician-led medical evaluations, vertical
treatment methodologies, bedside registration, and collaborative care are some of the new methods being employed
to assure appropriate and efficient medical care is being
provided.
To that end, design is evolving, too. Many facilities now
include greeter desks that have space for an initial, nurseled triage (combined with Web-based check-in); a rapid
medical evaluation area that allows ambulatory patients to
remain upright during their initial work-up; staff-supervised
lounges where patients and family can await diagnostic results; private consultation rooms utilized for quick
discharge, education, payment, and follow-up scheduling; and bedside computers for real-time imaging review,
patient education, and electronic medical records.
The designs are built around the goal of creating positive experiences for patients, family, and staff. The layout
must be inviting, stress-relieving, uplifting, and functional.
Hospitality-based environments with comfortable seating,
natural light, and views to the outside provide patients
and family support and relief during an often stressful
encounter. Staff spaces, on the other hand, are designed
to provide collaboration areas, quiet work zones, and
dedicated respite regions away from the hectic emergency
care environment, all helping with initial staff recruitment
and long-term retention.
An important piece
The FSED is an important new tool for healthcare systems
seeking to add market share while providing care environments that are convenient, consumer oriented, and cost effective. In order to develop a successful project, it's important that designers understand location and construction
implications, various regulatory and code requirements,
and emerging operational models, all while working to fully
develop the unique design opportunities of FSEDs. HCD
