Challenge
After opening their new hospital, Cooper recognized the need for additional space within their Emergency Department to improve patient satisfaction and increase throughput.
Solution
Within very tight space constraints, we designed a 20-bed Clinical Decision Unit featuring patient observation rooms, an open nurse station and staff work areas positioned to provide maximum visibility into each room, while maintaining ongoing operations within the ED.
Result
Seamlessly integrated with the existing ED, the CDU improved patient and clinical flow, resulting in reduced Length of Stay and increased patient satisfaction.
