LEO A DALY provided full design services for this 16-bed Medical/Surgical Acute Care Unit. The unit includes 2 isolation rooms and 2 bariatric rooms. The design of the 16-bed unit is intended to be the first phase of four total phases that results in the re-development of all inpatient services on the fourth floor. At the end of the fourth and final phase, all inpatient units on the fourth floor will be re-developed into identical inpatient units. The unit will be used by two patient acuity groups: general acute care and step down ICU. The design improves operation in several ways: promotes staff observation of the patients; reduce fall risks; decentralizes nursing; and incorporates acuity adaptable inpatient rooms.
