As a premier academic medical center with a world-renowned emergency
department, UC Health was facing a growing number of medically complex,
emergent patient cases and saw a need to modernize and grow its
flagship campus. A facility strategic plan prioritized an emergency department
expansion to address growing patient volume, emergency medicine
education, community incident response, and more.
The UC Health Emergency Department attracts world-class faculty and
treats more than 114,000 patients annually. The ED size was doubled to
increase capacity and improve patient flow, allowing the Level 1 Trauma
Center to provide surge capacity for larger scale crisis situations and better
triage patients.
Three new floors were added above the ED to house an observation
unit, a flexible ICU, inpatient acute care unit, and mechanical penthouse,
with the ability to vertically expand with a patient tower in the future to
accommodate inpatient growth. The flex ICU allows ED physicians to
oversee patient care in the initial 24 hours to determine diagnosis and
next steps for treatment. Staff mental health was considered with the
addition of a healing garden within the ED-accessible to staff and visible
to those in elevator lobbies and the ED behavioral health unit.
To further enhance training, responsiveness, and efficiency for staff, a
rapid response flex pod will be incorporated into the ED so it can easily
expand to accommodate situations from a community event to a mass
casualty situation to another pandemic or infectious disease scenario.
This flex space is under construction, to be completed in August 2024.
