Here are some key points I gathered from reviewing the example layouts: - Having a clear flow from entrance to exam area to limit cross traffic and maintain privacy/infection control. - Designating spaces for equipment, supplies, work areas to optimize functionality and efficiency. - Incorporating enough space around the exam table for the needed equipment and staff while examing patients. - Considering ergonomics like overhead tubes and controls within easy reach of staff during exams. - Maximizing available space but ensuring flexibility for different types of exams and future needs/changes. - Including storage, small desk area, and space for portable equipment when not in use. - Using lead shielding as needed

1. Draft: For discussion with Frank Brewster and Merle Peterson
Case Study for use at Kettering
Objective: Finalize the design of a new Emergency
Radiographic Room.
Background:
Current Emergency Radiographic Room to be taken
out of operation in 30 days. Space has been
identified for where new room will be installed and
preliminary plans have been approved. Nothing else
is to be added to the scope of the project as
anything else would delay the project and no funds
have been approved for anything additional.

2. Step 1. Conduct a current state assessment to understand the big picture
New
ED
Starting Point
1. Current ED Radiographic Room to be taken out of service within 30 days to enable new E-W corridor
(Red Arrow) to new Emergency Department area .
2. New ED Rad Room (Prior angio supplies and part of holding area) to be installed within Red Box
3. No additional funds in budget to do anything else this budget year.
4. Nothing else to be added to program as it would slow down getting new rad room installed. 2

3. How would you design a Radiographic Room to fit
in this space?

4. Start by going to the internet?
See examples below of recommended layouts from Internet.
