This upscale ambulatory endoscopy center is located in a new residential building with the treatment facility on the second floor and the administrative offices and staff support in the basement. We created a functional space, incorporating the latest in technology while maintaining a patient-friendly environment. Great effort was made to make the patients physically and mentally comfortable.
After careful consideration of the space and examination of the client's Primary Care Practice, a design model was proposed that changed the traditional patient flow for endoscopy procedures. The proposed layout created a circular patient traffic pattern from check in through discharge. The seamless collaboration between the architect and the client facilitated the restructuring of the traditional practice by creating, testing, and implementing a brand new patient-flow model. The prescribed model yielded a 30% faster visit. All goals were met and exceeded with the opening of the new center.
