Abstract:
A nurse-manager of a busy urban emergency department (ED) recounts a $10.7 million complete renovation and expansion that added close to 20,000 square feet to the unit. Advice includes how to plan for security and equipment needs, create a design that exceeds expectations, get the ED through the ambitious construction phase--and anticipate the personal needs that accompany added responsibility.
