Workshop Agenda and Presenters

Nearby Hotels

Designing a new or renovating an existing emergency department is a high stakes opportunity.  Today, more than ever, emergency department directors balance a range of competing priorities, including;

  • increased volume and patient acuity
  • primary care staffing shortages
  • overcrowding
  • delayed “up-stream” throughput, and other system bottle-necks

These challenges are coupled with the need to continually adapt to ever changing technology, ensure emergency preparedness and deliver in an era of accountable care.

Taught by nationally recognized experts, this workshop offers a review of design methodologies and benchmark challenges inherent in today’s emergency departments.  Attendees will learn how to quantify and measure those challenges and explore innovations, processes and facility-based solutions. Attendees will obtain insight into optimal patient flow, researched-based process, design interventions and strategies that improve clinical outcomes, quality of care, and patient safety and satisfaction.

This Workshop is produced by The Center for Health Design Pebble-in-Practice Initiative, in conjunction with The MedStar Health Institute for Innovation (MI2), and the represented faculty.
