Description
The speakers will present research and analyses on how emergency department (ED) physical design relates to patient safety and staff efficiency. A Q&A period will allow attendees to ask questions specific to ED projects they are planning. This session will enable you to:
● Assess aspects of the ED physical environment for their effect on safe, efficient care delivery.
● Describe how physical design can affect technology, human factors, and throughput in an emergency department.
● Compare the safety and efficiency dimensions of providing emergency care with those for inpatient care.
● Apply design information gleaned from the examples given to a specific ED design and construction project.
● Assess aspects of the ED physical environment for their effect on safe, efficient care delivery.
● Describe how physical design can affect technology, human factors, and throughput in an emergency department.
● Compare the safety and efficiency dimensions of providing emergency care with those for inpatient care.
● Apply design information gleaned from the examples given to a specific ED design and construction project.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Understand the aspects of the ED physical environment that affect efficiency of care delivery.
