Critical care patient treatment hours have increased dramatically in U.S. emergency departments over the past decade, with numbers projected to escalate at alarming rates in the future.
This webinar will highlight the University of Michigan Medical Center’s journey to address this growing challenge through lean design. The session will discuss how the hospital and emergency department leadership’s plan to create a dedicated critical care unit would improve care delivery and patient outcomes. Using lean design principles throughout the building design and construction process, the team created a finished project that was completed ahead of schedule, under budget, and with no significant change orders.
By engaging in purpose-driven design dedicated to functional space that emphasizes efficient, effective, and cutting-edge critical care, the project set a national precedent for providing emergency department-based treatment. Five-year post-occupancy analysis validates the standard by which future peer institution unit designs will be based.
