Help reduce long-term energy consumption while improving the health of patients and the community!
Patient health, community health, and environmental health are all negatively affected by multiple aspects of hospital construction, design, and maintenance. Increasing numbers of studies have found correlations between the materials used in hospitals and human disease. For instance, volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, naphthalene, and toluene are released into the air from the particle boards and carpets. These toxins, breathed in by patients and hospital staff, have been correlated to longer patient recovery times and more sick days for staff. The inadequate ventilation found in most hospitals also contributes to the poor indoor air quality and pollution. The production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), widely used in the production of IV bags, plastic tubing, and other health care supplies, releases the carcinogen dioxin, which has been associated with a number of other health problems, including developmental defects, endometriosis, learning disabilities, and endocrine disorders. Mercury – a component of thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and other supplies – is widely found in hospital waste released into the air and water. Other chemicals used to clean and maintain hospitals add additional toxins to the environment.

Improvement of Hospital Project Cost and Schedule Mgmt Final RptEd Kozak
Of pressing concern to the CFO of our client hospital were the spending issues and schedule
slippages of internal implementation projects--issues that he felt contributed to the
current cash flow problem of the hospital that would grow to an even greater problem if
EMR capabilities weren’t fully implemented and operational by 2015. The CFO solicited
external help to 1) validate why there has existed such a level of overspending and
schedule slippage on projects, 2) propose a recommendation for solutions, and 3) change
the existing process to ensure better project budget and schedule control in the long run.
Successful Projects For Leaders (SP4L) had been hired as a consultant to assess what
went wrong with that implementation and to improve how projects in general would be
conducted so that it could move forward with the EMR project successfully. By using a systematic approach, we identified several areas in the project Initiation-Planning-Execution-Control-Closing process that needed modification. The net result is
better project cost and schedule performance, leading to better cash flow budgeting and
planning, with an expected savings of more than $350,000 annually as well as improved
acceptance and ownership by the end-users. Based on the proactive response to their
issues, the CFO, CNO, and PCCs are satisfied and are serving as excellent centers of
influence for the rest of Senior Management and the nursing staff, respectively.

SPHS Webinar Series: Human Rights, Water and Antimicrobial Resistance: A New ...UN SPHS
In light of the discussions held at the Asia Forum 2018 Campfire Session led by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), the SPHS webinar "Human Rights, Water and Antimicrobial Resistance: A New Nexus-Approach To Address a Complex Challenge?" focuses on the relationship between a healthy environment and human rights, with a special focus on water and antibiotics. Experts explain how this approach can stimulate virtuous developments within the health sector, and how health care providers ensure simultaneous access to affordable medicines while safeguarding human rights of people living nearby production sites, who share the same water resources. The objective is to share information with the audience about the activities of pharmaceutical companies and relevant stakeholders from the health sector, including leading practices and gaps, to trigger a conversation on how purchasers can influence sustainable procurement of pharmaceuticals.
In addition, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs & Formulations) or chemicals that are discharged in the wastewater from the production of pharmaceuticals, impact the human health and the environment through water contamination. The webinar also discusses strategies to effectively measure and monitor the APIs in the wastewater discharged resulting from production, development and related activities involving pharmaceuticals manufacturing.
