In my scenario the key issues are in the pediatric health facility they are struggling to keep the clinic clean and optimizing the safety and well being of patients care. Having sanitation as an issue, problems like communicable diseases or viruses can spread, patients’ parents will be weary and unsafe about the care they will receive, and if the clinic is not properly clean and presentable our staff and clinic will look unprofessionally and untrustworthy. Practical solutions and strategies would be our staff team picking up after themselves, following the regulations of opening/ closing the clinic, creating a strutted cleaning schedule daily, making sure every staff member is contributing and completing the important task of having a clean and sanitized facility for both patients and staff. It is important overall to have a clean and sanitized facility so doing things like following strict hygiene protocols, following procedures to prevent contamination, monitor cleanliness levels, identify areas that require more sanitation than others, and implement teamwork. Some challenges that could arise in our scheduling process include staff not being responsible for their task and responsibilities, and ensuring each employee is responsible for sanitizing and sterilizing the clinic. Ways to overcome these challenges would be having separate signing charts for when people complete their task, having teamwork, and establishing open communication between staff members.
