The main purpose of this project was to expand the Emergency Department (ED) fast track area at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) to help decrease the number of annual patient visits to the ED. The ED was operating at twice the design capacity.
The project, which involves approximately 5,960 square feet of interior modifications and improvements for fast track and patient triage on the third floor (Emergency and Imaging Departments), resulted in reconfiguration of waiting and reception, triage and registration, exam rooms, medication room, radiology reading room, offices and work areas requiring new partitions, suspended ceilings, flooring, painting, casework, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, telephone/data communications, etc. The area of interior improvements is located in the west side of the five-story hospital building.
