Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) needed to expand its medical/surgical capabilities due to an overwhelming demand for patient care space in the region. They chose to partner with FCA to capitalize on existing shell space within a current bed tower to house these needed facilities.
The major goal of this project was to provide acuity-adaptable patient care space with a medical/surgical unit that is acuity-adaptable and outfitted to accommodate ICU-level patients if needed during surge capacity events.
The unit has been designed with inboard toilets and same-handed patient rooms to maximize clinical efficiency and to create additional touchdown and storage alcoves off the circulation space. The planning and resulting configuration allow for maximum flexibility and efficiency within the unit.
