Roosevelt Hospital Emergency Department Expansion, New York, NY

RBSD was responsible for a multi-phased $10 million project to expand the existing 27-bed Emergency Department at Roosevelt Hospital.  RBSD developed the optimal layout, design, and phasing to expand the Department to 45 beds in the first phase, and to 53 beds in the second phase.

In addition to increasing the overall bed count, the renovations created an open layout that better facilitates efficiency and staff supervision. The layout is based on a “no waiting” concept, with no waiting rooms, and a larger number of triage rooms instead. These triage rooms could, if necessary, extend into the fast-track cubicles so that they could be used for triage as well.
