Once again, a new trend has hit the healthcare industry, particularly in emergency departments. FSED (Freestanding emergency departments) have been growing in popularity as healthcare systems are exploring new and improved ways to provide service to patients in cost effective ways.
As an extension of a typical hospital, FSED provides care 24/7 and acts in many ways as a typical hospital would. However, patients are only expected to remain in these departments for a maximum of 24 hours. After a day, they must either be released or sent directly to a hospital.
Since FSEDs are intended as a short-term stay for patients, surgeries and other procedures aren’t typically provided. FSED sites also have less medical furniture, inpatient beds, and traditional healthcare furniture you would typically find in a hospital.
As a top tier healthcare manufacturer, Kimball Office was up to the challenge to find an appropriate solution for FSEDs in need of healthcare furniture across the country. Opposed to the usual doctor office furniture and healthcare staff office desks, Kimball provided sleek Priority desks and other height adjustable options to fit the needs of these unique departments.
Overall, feedback from these facilities proves that freestanding office furniture has been a very positive change. Due to the ease of mobility, staff are quicker to provide care and patients find the facilities to be far more convenient to access than typical hospitals.
