It explains the architectural design process specific to emergency departments and teaches emergency physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, and other health care providers how to prepare and lead a design team. The book presents the design process in sequence, from needs assessment through scope definition and design to the finished product, pointing out potential pitfalls and special considerations along the way. Chapters include checklists and worksheets and hundreds of drawings and floorplans to support the planning process. Special design considerations are covered in detail, including pediatric and geriatric emergency departments, freestanding emergency centers, safety and security measures, lean design, and much more. The foundation of all the recommendations is patient care and how it can best be delivered according to the needs of the community -- and not according to a \"cookie cutter\" or standardized design. The second part of the book comprises 27 case studies – all designed to solve specific problems and meet specific needs, such as behavioral health, historic preservation, lean processing, “no wait,” overcrowding, physician-directed patient flow, privacy, surge capacity, threat mitigation, wayfinding, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction: An Architect’s Retrospective\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePreparing to Lead and Internal Team-Building\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eProject Delivery Options and Selecting Your Consultants, Designers, and Builders\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eProject Justification and Needs Assessment\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eScope Definition\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe Design Puzzle: Pieces and Parts\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDesign Components, Configurations, and Considerations\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePediatric, Geriatric, and Freestanding Emergency Departments and Clinical Decision Units\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWrap-Up: Imagine the Long-Range Future of Emergency Department Design\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCase Studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s new?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEmphasis on lean operations\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInnovative approaches to streamlining patient throughput\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow operational redesign affects physical redesign\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow wireless technologies affect patient care\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNew safety and security concerns\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDesign considerations for special populations – pediatrics, geriatrics, behavioral health, bariatric patients\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDesign alternatives to achieve efficiency, effectiveness, and sound clinical practice\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFreestanding emergency departments\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNew design and construction delivery methods\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExpanded case studies section – 27 new projects from your peers and design professionals across the country – all designed to solve specific problems and meet specific needs, such as behavioral health, historic preservation, lean processing, “no wait,” overcrowding, physician-directed patient flow, privacy, surge capacity, threat mitigation, wayfinding, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"American College of Emergency Physicians","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076920230128,"sku":"9780998891217","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780998891217_p0.jpg?v=1763959697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998891217","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
