Dellbrook Construction/JK Scanlan Company is currently working as the construction manager on the 3rd phase of the 40,000 s/f construction and renovation project for the new emergency center at Cape Cod Hospital. Project design was provided by Isgenuity, LLC.
Within the multi-phased project, phases 1 and 3 involve complete renovations of interior spaces within the hospital. Phase 2 included the new building constructed to serve as the new emergency center for the hospital. The new building is steel framed with EIFS, granite and metal wall panel exterior. Complete interior millwork and finishes are included in the new facility. As one of the busiest emergency centers in New England, Cape Cod Healthcare's new emergency center nearly doubled the size of the current department and included a total of 72 patience care treatment rooms. The new acute care unit features 52 private treatment rooms and is divided into three contiguous areas, each with an advanced clinical station at its center. Forty-eight rooms arranged in adjacent four-room pods surround the three clinical stations, plus an additional four specialty care rooms designated for patients requiring emergency orthopedics, ENT (ear, nose and throat), bariatric and Trauma services.
Also located within the acute care unit is the new emergency diagnostic suite. Because the large majority of patients who come through the emergency department require some kind of imaging, having immediate access to these services is essential to providing the best possible care. The emergency diagnostic suite will be equipped with the latest CT technology, X-ray and ultrasound capabilities which will enable emergency department staff to more quickly diagnose a patient's injury or trauma.
The fast track unit is an integral part of the emergency center, designed to facilitate the care for patients presenting with non-critical emergencies. This 11-bed unit significantly helps to shorten the time patients spend in the emergency department by providing focused treatment quickly and efficiently in a comfortable more appropriate setting than the acute care unit.
Construction of Phase 3 is scheduled to be completed in October.
