Forum Session: Design features, concepts, and specifications for biocontainment patient care

Plan now for treating patients in a biocontainment setting. Here are the emerging strategies, design concepts, and product prototypes to know about for healthcare facility construction and renovations. David Duthu and Michael Pietrzak reveal critical elements of ER One, a new emergency care facility at Washington Hospital Center capable of operating as a containment zone for biological and other risks. They detail the most cost effective design features to achieve the necessary capacity, flexibility, and scalability, and outline operational flow for staff and equipment. They also analyze cost premiums of operating in containment mode versus operating as an everyday ER.
