HEALTHCARE
Shore Medical Center | Emergency Room Department
Somers Point, NJ
Shore Medical Center, is a full-service acute care community hospital located in Somers Point, New Jersey. They provide health services for Cancer, Spine & Orthopedic, Emergency, Maternity, Pediatrics and Neurology.
We master planned and designed the major reconstruction and modernization of their Emergency Department. The design of the Unit was consistent with SMC’s commitment to Plane Tree practice.
The design featured a pod configuration of patient bays that facilitate the opening and closing of pods based on census. The pods that include a total of thirty six patient bays (36) were strategically planned around carefully positioned and sized nursing stations. The implementation of high tech I.T. and integration of the I.T. within the case work and nurse stations allow for efficient monitoring and control of patient flow.
The unit also included a six (6) bay Treat and Release unit within the footprint that share the support of the main ED. R2A & R2I designed the diagnostic imaging suites that included a Cat Scan Room with the capacity to accommodate a 64 slice CT and the design of the Digital X-Ray suite all within the footprint of the ED.
