Given that the core business of a hospital is the welfare of its patients, it is easy to understand why the intricacies of electricity are not a high priority. However, ensuring patient welfare requires a huge variety of medical appliances, which in turn, require electricity. Electricity is therefore a vital utility and any malfunction or interruption can quickly lead to disastrous consequences.
This combination—being absolutely vital but far from the primary concern of the organization—entails a certain risk.
Standards and regulations prescribe how a hospital’s electrical installations should be conceived and installed to ensure safety and reliability. Those regulations are complemented by the prescriptions of the equipment manufacturers. All these rules, however, create a complex tangle of information for the user, often making it difficult to figure out which rule has to be applied where and exactly how it has to be implemented. In this tutorial, we will try to shed light on those regulations and give a comprehensive overview.
Once safety and reliability are taken care of, the focus can shift to energy efficiency. The fact that efficiency is only of secondary priority for a hospitals’ electrical installation does not mean its impact cannot be significant. By focusing on energy efficiency, hospitals can often make surprisingly large savings on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their installations and thus on the cost of the medical aid they render. This paper addresses a few of the major energy efficiency topics relevant to medical building management.

Laboratory Management With Constrains Iamm 2010PathKind Labs
Clinical laboratory services are a critical yet much neglected component of health systems in resource poor countries. They are crucial for public health, disease control and surveillance, and guide patient diagnosis and care, but their key role is often not recognized by governments or donors. Laboratory tests should be used to improve the outcome for individual patients or to provide public health information. However, if the quality of laboratory tests is poor, resources will be wasted on repeat tests or inappropriate management and the laboratory service will be inefficient.
The primary goal of Laboratory Medicine is to provide information that is useful to assist medical decision-making, allowing optimal health care. This can only be obtained by generating reliable analytical results on patient samples. Meaningful measurements are indeed essential for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and risk assessment of patients. Inadequate laboratory performance may have extensive consequences for practical medicine, healthcare system, and, in conclusion, for the patient. Poor quality results may actually lead to incorrect interpretation by the clinician, impairing the patient’s
situation.
Accreditation authorities have identified twelve quality system essentials that need to be in place for a laboratory to perform clinical tests adequately and in a quality assured manner. Along with each laboratory performing tests that are in its scope, it is essential that duplication and excess capacity is addressed by forging and operating a network of laboratories leading to consolidation and integration of clinical testing. A network would have collection centers at places convenient to the patients, supported by frequent transfer of samples in appropriate conditions to the laboratory. In the laboratory there is a need for increased automation and relevant training of personnel and the setting up of centralized accessioning, pneumontic chutes for transport of samples to the work bench and for bidirectional interphased equipment to transfer results to desk top of laboratory physicians and after validation of results for the results to be electronically transferred by SMS and/or PDF files via email and/or becoming available online for clients, supplemented by delivery of hard copies of the results.
The challenge in the next decade for laboratory medicine is to accomplish these major changes in organization to meet fiscal restraint and shortage of adequately trained laboratory personnel. Collaborative networks, constructive use of point of care devices, and the development of rapport between laboratories and their clients leading to cost effective utilization of limited resources, are some of the strategies that will maximize patient benefit

Process Improvement Project
Process Identification
In this paper, a process that will be improved through the DMAIC methodology will be identified. In this case, the process to be evaluated is the service offered to an a la carte menu (Nandakumar et al., 2020). This is a type of menu whereby the food is prepared after being ordered by a customer. In this process, the first step is the customer entering the store. The second process is the waiter approaching the customer and asking them the meal that they want to take. After taking the order, the waiter then takes the order to the chef so that it may be prepared. When the order is prepared, the food is then taking to the customers and they pay after receiving all the services needed.
High-level Processes
The high-level processes, in this case, including taking the customer’s order. In this process, the waiting staff ensures that they get the order right before taking the order to be cooked. The other high-level process is cooking the order. That entails using all the ingredients required to ensure that the food cooked is of high quality. The third high-level process is serving the customer with the food. That ensures that the customer receives the order that they wanted. The last high-level process s making payments. After the customer is satisfied with the services, they pay for their services before walking away.
Inefficiencies
Some inefficiencies have been identified in the process and they should be corrected for better service provision. One of the inefficiencies is that the customers are not provided with the menu unless they ask for it. They should be provided with the menu and be given some time to choose the food they want. The second inefficiency is that the waiting staff does not consult the payment method the customers want to use. Additionally, since it is an a la carte menu, the customers have to wait for some time before being served. Thus, they should be engaged in activities that will help them to pass the time.

Responsibility Charting and AIDA Continuum Chart
Develop
a Complete Change Plan for a change initiative that you want to make happen. Use facts from the case study scenario that your team selected in Week 4. The team may add no more than three facts or characters, or a combination of facts or characters to the case study to assist in fleshing out the development of the Complete Change Plan.
Use
your team's top selected strategy for the change initiative as well as the statement of the need for change and your vision for the change developed in Week 4.
Write
a 1,400- to 1,750-word detailed Complete Change Plan. The Complete Change Plan will be broken into the following four parts:
The Action Steps
What are the critical steps that must be accomplished? Arrange your action steps in sequence. Can some be done simultaneously? What activities cannot begin or should not start until others are completed? What timelines should you observe?
It is often useful to begin at the end of the project and work your way backward.
Who needs to become committed to the project?
Where are key players at on the adoption continuum? Are they even aware of the change? If aware, are they interested or have they moved beyond that stage to either desiring action or having already adopted?
What will it take to move them along the continuum in the direction of adoption?
Use the AIDA Continuum chart and include this chart in your plan.
What is the commitment to the adoption of those who have reached the adopter stage? That is, are they at the "let it happen" stage, the "help it happen" stage, or the "make it happen" stage?
Use the Responsibility Chart and include this chart in your plan.
Who will do what, where, when, and how? Often a responsibility chart can be useful to track these things.
Contingency Planning
What are the critical decision points? Who makes those decisions?
What should be done if the decision or event does not go as planned?
What plans can be made to account for these contingencies? If you can, draw a decision tree of the action plan and lay out the decision-event sequence.
Measurement of Change
How will it be determined that the goal or change project has been successfully implemented? At times, success will be obvious (e.g., a new system in place). At other times, success will be more difficult to measure (e.g., attitudes toward the adoption and acceptance of a new system).
What intermediate signals will indicate that progress is being made? What is the first step or sequence of steps?
Transition Strategy
Formulate
a transition strategy that includes a communications proposal.
How will the transition be managed?
Who will make the innumerable decisions required to handle the details?
Who will provide information to those affected?
How will the change be communicated to organizational members?
Use
organizational change terminology consistent with what is used in your text.
Use
a minimum of four sources in addition to
Organizational Chan.

Lab Assignment
Part A. Variability in Flying Paper Planes
This part of assignment guides you through the steps of data collection and analysis. All team members must participate in the
data collection process (1)-(4) to qualify for full score. Note the collected data will also be used for your individual final report at
the end of the semester: the quality of your data impacts your final report. In general, a good quality data refers to the one with
minimal ‘unexpected’ variance. In experimentation, people unwillingly and unknowingly invite multiple sources of variability that
add to a variance. Having unexpected variance in your data twists your conclusions, and lowers the power of your statistical
model. You will understand how this happens in Lecture 9 Regression Model. Thus, the primary goal of data collection is to
minimize variance by identifying and eliminating unexpected sources of variability.
In this regard, the current task is to measure air-time of three paper planes, repeated at least 30 times for each plane. The quality
of your work is evaluated by successfully minimizing variance, and by reasonable efforts to reduce it. First, select three designs
of paper planes from Appendix I and make them. You can find steps to make each design in the webpage address below
Appendix I.
(1) Before measurement, brainstorm with your team members to identify a list of potential sources that may impact the variance
of your measurements. Construct a Fish-Bone diagram to organize the list into proper categories.
(2) Discuss practical methods to prevent the sources from impacting your measurement. Describe at least three actions you will
take during your measurement to keep from the unexpected variability.
Next, find a place for uninterrupted flight and measure air-time. Repeat measurements at least 30 times for each design.
(3) Specify measurement environment, methods, devices, and individual roles. Also, attach a photograph of measurement.
(4) Attach the recorded data from Excel. It will have at least 30 rows of data fields with three columns, one for each design.
Finally, provide some descriptive and inferential statistics for your data. Show all steps if you manually get them. Show all
functions or screen-captured step ...
The seven basic tools of quality is a designation given to a fixed set of graphical techniques identified as being most helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality.They are called basic because they are suitable for people with little formal training in statistics and because they can be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues.
We built a modeling space with HUS, Hospital District of Helsinki, to empower innovative planning and co-design for the New Children Hospital.
Project Aim was to create and co-test the modeling space/room, and report possible innovative ideas that come up while doing it. The ultimate aim is to find the best possible design for a (high-dependency) hospital room. In a way the goal was thus twofold: To create a physical testing space and to gather information and ideas.

We understand the unique challenges pickleball players face and are committed to helping you stay healthy and active. In this presentation, we’ll explore the three most common pickleball injuries and provide strategies for prevention and treatment.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
