Download Case Study
Location Topeka, Kansas

Completed for a healthcare facility in the Kansas capital region.

Facility Type Emergency Room

Treatment rooms and a trauma room were updated with durable clinical storage and work surfaces.

Solution Casework

The project centered on secure, easy-to-clean healthcare casework and medical storage cabinets designed for active emergency room work areas.

Products Used Healthcare Casework and Medical Storage Cabinets

Clinical cabinets, secure storage, glove access, sinks, faucets, and solid surface work areas were installed to organize supplies near patient care activity.

The Problem

ER Storage Needed Better Organization and Control

O'Neil VA Medical Center needed emergency room treatment and trauma rooms with more functional storage, secure cabinet access, hygienic work surfaces, and organized supply placement. The upgrade also had to be planned around active ER operations, so the new casework could support daily clinical use without unnecessary disruption.

Before
01

Supplies Needed Better Organization

Treatment and trauma rooms needed storage that made supplies easier to organize, locate, and access during daily emergency room work. The project called for cabinets, adjustable shelving, and glove box holders that could create clearer storage zones within clinical work areas.

02

Medical Supplies Needed Secure Storage

The emergency room required medical storage cabinets that could help control access to selected supplies while still remaining practical for staff use. Electronic locks were included to support secure medical supply storage in active treatment spaces.

03

Work Surfaces Needed to Handle Daily Use

The medical center needed casework and workspaces suited for frequent use in patient care areas. Solid surface workspaces with sink and faucet cutouts addressed the need for durable, hygienic, and easy-to-clean clinical work areas.

The Solution

Healthcare Casework Improves ER Storage

Southwest Solutions Group installed a coordinated healthcare casework and medical storage package for treatment rooms and a trauma room at O'Neil VA Medical Center. The system included securely mounted cabinets, electronic locks, wall-hung sink cabinets, base cabinets, wall cabinets with adjustable shelves, glove box holders, sinks, faucets, and solid surface workspaces with sink and faucet cutouts. Together, the components created organized storage, controlled supply access, and durable, easy-to-clean clinical work areas for daily ER use.

Solution
Why It Fit

Designed for Daily ER Use

The casework matched the ER’s need for durable materials, cleanable surfaces, organized supply storage, and secure cabinet access. Sink cabinets, wall storage, base cabinets, and solid surface workspaces created defined storage and work zones in treatment and trauma rooms.

Operational Impact

Better Storage Where Staff Need It

The upgraded rooms gained organized cabinet storage, adjustable shelf space, glove access, sinks, faucets, and durable work surfaces in one coordinated installation. The finished casework improved room organization while giving the emergency department a cleaner, more professional clinical appearance.

Implementation

Installing Casework Without Disrupting the ER

SSG coordinated with medical center staff to plan the casework installation around active emergency room operations. Work centered on fitting mounted cabinets, wall-hung sink cabinets, base and wall storage, electronic locks, glove box holders, sinks, faucets, and solid surface workspaces into treatment and trauma rooms. The planning kept staff access and room function in view while limiting interference with ongoing patient care activity.

01
Discovery & Site Survey

Reviewing Storage and Workflow Needs

SSG reviewed the emergency room’s treatment and trauma room requirements for secure access, cleanable work surfaces, and supply organization. This review helped align cabinet types, sink locations, glove box holders, and work surfaces with the clinical use of each room.

02
Layout, Power & Data Plan

Planning the Casework Layout

The layout accounted for wall-hung sink cabinets, base cabinets, wall cabinets, solid surface workspaces, sinks, faucets, glove box holders, and electronic locks. Placement was planned around staff access and the function of each treatment or trauma room.

03
Submittals & Approvals

Planning Around Active ER Rooms

SSG coordinated the installation plan with medical center staff before work began in the emergency room areas. This planning helped the casework upgrade move forward while reducing interference with active treatment spaces.

Results

Better ER Storage, Security, and Workflow

The upgraded emergency room gained more organized and accessible healthcare storage, secure medical cabinets, durable easy-to-clean work surfaces, and a more polished clinical appearance. SSG also coordinated the work to support continued operation during the upgrade.

Workflow

Supplies Became Easier to Access

Wall cabinets, base cabinets, adjustable shelves, glove box holders, sinks, and solid surface workspaces helped place storage and work areas where staff could use them during emergency room activity.

Organization

Secure Storage for Medical Supplies

The upgraded treatment and trauma rooms gained defined cabinet storage, shelf space, and glove box placement. Electronic locks added supply control where secure medical storage was needed.

Long-Term Value

Built for Everyday Clinical Use

Solid surface workspaces, securely mounted cabinets, and easy-to-clean materials gave the emergency room a lasting storage and workspace platform suited for frequent clinical use.
