Productive Ward has been very productive ....

Boy it's been a busy few months.
The WOW teams have been working very hard making their work environments more efficeint. Rose Baker Wing have commenced wowing their compactor room and steri room which has been a huge job. The sorting and setting is completed and they are now working on their inventories and setting the stock levels for each room. The previously completed pan rooms and storage areas are achieving fantastic results with the compliance audits - congratualations to all of the staff. General Ward have sorted and set their panrooms, the IV pump room and the old HDU store room and are working on the steri room, drug room and HDU store room and are also achiveing good results - well done to all of the General Ward staff.
The HII teams have been very busy finalising the mandatory data sets and designing the display boards for the wards. They have had hand hygeine audit training and will soon comence regular audits with the help of the Infection Prevention and Control nurse. They have also been drafting the first set of Standard Operating Procedures for the WOW team rooms and equipment on their wards. The teams are consulting with the Quality and Safety unit for a standardised process for collecting the mandatory data daily for display on the boards and education for the staff will begin in the next couple of weeks and the teams will take over the responsibility for updating the boards daily.
The PSAG teams had their planning day on November 12th and had a very productive day working on the standardised section of the PSAG boards. They spent the day working with the Multidisciplinary teams in individual groups, discussing their needs and outlinng the expectations around the use of the board. The consultation sessions were very valuable in gaining a diffrent prespective and reslulted in some very positive chages to the first draft.
Stay productive H
