About this Presentation
Dr. David Boger presents a new Emergency Department design—currently under construction—that integrates TOC principles into every aspect of flow. The blueprint features robust triage, care initiation zones, centralized imaging, and drum-buffer-rope logic built into key bottlenecks. This session offers a forward-looking view of how TOC can be embedded at the architectural level to hardwire operational excellence into patient care environments.
