Healthcare Estates 2016 saw the launch of a new blueprint for Emergency Department Repeatable Rooms, as an architect member of the Repeatable Rooms ‘Core Team’ explains.
Rosemary Jenssen, director of Jenssen Architecture, and a member of the GCS P21+ Cost Reduction Programme ‘Repeatable Rooms’ Core Team, reports on the launch, at last month’s Healthcare Estates 2016 conference, of a new blueprint for Emergency Department Repeatable Rooms, and explains how the team behind the initiative harnessed technical workshops, observation studies, and a literature view/evidence analysis, as well as extensive input and help from Trusts, architects, and professional bodies, in developing it.
‘When one door closes another door opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.’ Alexander Graham Bell’s popular quote rung true at last month’s Healthcare Estates 2016 show. A fitting piece on P21+/P22, for the IHEEM 2016 conference theme of ‘Transformation through Collaboration’, was the formal roll-out of the final tranche of the awardwinning ‘Repeatable Rooms’ (RR), for the three Emergency Department Rooms launched on day one of the conference.
Developed under the ProCure21+ programme, the process and outputs are rooted in collaboration, demonstrating the value of pooling knowledge and resources, to deliver quantified benefit for the health service.
