The Emergency Department Workshop

Join us for this seventh annual interactive, problem-solving experience.

The Emergency
Department: Considerations for Innovation and Strategic Design, A Pebble-In-Practice Workshop

Designing, building 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 overcrowding
  • patient acuity and behavioral health
  • safety vs. satisfaction
  • delayed “up-stream” throughput
  • system bottle-necks

At this two-day event you’ll learn how to evaluate those challenges and solve them using design innovations and facility based solutions.

Taught by nationally recognized clinical and design experts, the workshop will bring you up to date on the latest emergency department design methodologies, case studies and benchmark data.

May 9-10, 2017 Chicago, IL
