Stay Alert of Emergency Department Design Trends
As healthcare systems continue to consolidate and close hospitals, emergency departments that remain open are starting to experience higher patient volumes. Meanwhile, providers are also exploring the construction of freestanding emergency departments, which are popping up in communities to deliver care closer to where patients live and adding competition to the emergency care market.
The introduction of specialty units also continues, targeting specific patient populations, such as psychiatric emergency department design and trauma unit design. Organizations looking to respond to this evolving marketplace can turn to Healthcare Design for the latest facility projects and waiting rooms, cutting-edge approaches, and evidence-based design process improvements.
