Scripps Health

Business:

ENHANCE EXECUTIVE MEETINGS AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. Provide comprehensive AV communications tools in the Boardroom, which also serves as the health system’s Emergency Command Center.

Design:

With extensive input from the health system CEO, this center was designed as the leadership hub serving four acute care hospitals on five campuses. The Boardroom/Command Center seats participants at a movable table for 30, and perimeter seating extends the room capacity to 55. A food service station supports lengthy work sessions, and ample storage is provided for emergency management equipment. Room finishes are uncluttered to provide a neutral background for videoconferencing and data collaboration.

Technology:

Three 120-inch diagonal rear projection screens maximize display clarity in the deep, low ceilinged room. In an emergency, the three projection systems might simultaneously display live news feeds, statistical data from a PC, and a videoconference. Laptop and phone connectivity at the table provide flexibility for emergency operations. Hospital executives, physicians, and off-site emergency can join meetings via audio or video teleconferencing, and voice lift technology allows all participants to hear and be heard when the room is fully occupied.
