Healthcare Design - June/July 2023 - 41
3/5
which had previously featured two beds, were redesigned as eight singleoccupancy
rooms.
CHA's clinical staff had previously faced issues with the storage of necessary
items such as patients' personal belongings that need to be secured
but accessible, art supplies, games, and other group activity materials. In
the existing unit, there were bench seats throughout the main passageway
that were not needed in this program; those spaces were repurposed to include
full-height, lockable storage cabinets that slid into the corridor walls.
The previously hidden nurses' station was shifted out into the open corridor
to help centralize the staff between the waiting room where visitors
are welcomed and the open activity area, and to increase staff visibility
and engagement.
To allow for an expansive and light-filled patient experience in the new
gathering area, located at the core of the unit across from the nurses' station,
all staff workspaces were relocated to a back-of-the-house area. This
section was designed to include a separate staff entrance, break room filled
with natural light, reorganized team room with integrated conferencing
tools, and a documentation area for focused work.
FINISH LINE
Ultimately, the project was completed within one week of the required
nine-month timeframe, with only the molded nurses' station delivered
late due to a stringent production schedule and
several design changes. However, the station's
installation had minimal impact on the project
and quickly became a dynamic and well-loved
feature of the space.
Although a project with daunting timelines
and pressing needs, the teamwide commitment
to planning, communication, and working collaboratively
were the foundation for its success.
With combined knowledge and expertise, team
members were able to anticipate and stay ahead
of potential " show stoppers, " while expedited
decision-making helped combat a tight schedule
even in an era of potential supply chain and
inflation-related roadblocks.
