The Importance Of Interning With The Cleaning Validation Group At Pfizer

How was this lab activity similar to other labs that you have done in the past?

The National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) program was created in 2002 by the Joint Commission to help organizations identify and address issues with patient safety. The people who determine what the safety goals are and how they should be addressed is called the Patient Safety Advisory Group. This group is composed of medical professionals who have “hands-on experience in addressing patient safety issues in a wide variety of health care settings.”(The Joint Commission, 2015) The first group of goals set by the advisory group were published Jan. 1, 2003. Currently, there are 6 hospital patient safety goals:

* This lab can be a little messy, so be sure to work at a kitchen counter or in another area that can be easily wiped down if anything spills.

The free-standing building was all the way on the opposite side of campus. I rode the bus and was dropped off in front; everyone scurried out. As I walked the hallway, most of the labs appeared like classroom labs: a large front station for the instructor surrounded by smaller lab stations for the students. Finally, the hallway led to a smaller corridor of private labs. I found my way to a larger lab that opened up into an atypical lab set up. Every inch of space in the lab was utilized by a machine, or boxes of spare lab gear. It was not as simplistic as the teaching labs. After peering around a few lab stations, I was greeted by Sean, who was in charge of the lab. He asked me a few mundane questions about how I felt about science and what my goals were, and then he proceeded to introduce me to the researchers. I showed up the following day with closed toed shoes and spent the next four years, in between classes and my studies, in that lab. I could not have known the experiences I

The reason Sterile Processing interests me is because it is a career that I stumbled upon in my early twenties and come to know and love. The lack of knowledge the public has when it comes to this department is troubling. It is a key department of every hospital and clinic as they are responsible for infection prevention; yet most people could not tell you who they are and what they do. There are many challenges these professionals see on a day to day basis and require a very intricate skill set. I am a Sterile Processing Manager, responsible for a 30 person team on implementing safe practices for reprocessing medical devices and instruments. I often at the interview process, come across applicants

Dreading going to work was my lifestyle, up until our new director, Jessica Gettings. The workplace atmosphere has improved greatly, with her making several necessary changes. Almost all of the changes had been over-looked in the past by our previous director, with Sterile Processing being one of the most neglected. Multiple workers have noticed, through all these transitions, that attitudes have shifted to a more positive mood, work production has begun to increase, and workers in this department have started to feel more connected. Within the last month, however, I have seen a decline in work production from Sonia Tribble and Tyler Boedecker, both of which have had problems in the past. The two, seem to, show up late and avoid work by conversing

National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs), established in 2002 by the Joint Commission, is to help accredited organizations address specific areas of concern in regard to patient safety ("Catheter-Associated," 2015). NPSG.07.06.01 Implement evidence-based practices to prevent indwelling catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) is a 2015 NPSG ("The Joint Commission," 2015). Our facility has 1.32 CAUTIs per 1000 device days (Carson, 2015). Decreasing CAUTIs can be achieved with a strict goal, addressing the financial implications, interdisciplinary collaboration, nursing leadership, a measurement tool, and discussing the future healthcare delivery methods.

Before a client session starts it is important to make sure that the facilities and environment are chosen carefully. The practice room should be safe, clean

The desks are in centers, that the teacher has carefully crafted to promote the most qualitative experience for her students. Mrs. Paul says that she must study and understand her students' behaviors so that she knows where to sit each student. Having the room sectioned up in centers gives the teacher the opportunity to see how all of her students work. Mrs. Paul walked around the classroom and organized her monitoring by center, which allowed her to get to every student. In my future classroom I would like to keep the desks in centers not only to facilitate my assessment and communication with students, but because by being close to each other the students could rely on each other and form trusting

Quality improvement, patient safety, and cost containment are some of the key focuses of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in 2010. Therefore, many Healthcare Organizations (HCOs) were confronted with the challenge of changing their organization behavior, so that they can deliver a safe care without compromising on qualities and increasing on expenditures with each care delivery (KPMG Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Institute, 2011). The purpose of the paper is to discuss a HCO’s transformation challenge, its subsystem within a larger system, its culture and climate, its leadership style, its assessment based on Collin’s Good to Great, and its readiness for change in today’s complex environment.

There are 440,000 people a year that die from a preventable variety of mistakes that are made in hospitals, which comes out to a little over 1,000 deaths a day, and is the number three cause of death behind cancer, and heart disease (hospitalsafetyscore). According to a group that rates hospitals named The Leapfrog Group a nonprofit watchdog group that grades hospitals for safety, (leapfrog) a majority of these deaths are very avoidable and are most of the time simple mistakes. Errors in Hospitals are a broad issue that gets hundreds of thousands of people killed every year; for the most part, they are preventable and are caused by overtesting, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, non-reporting, and lack of oversight, though there are ways to prevent

The National Institutes of Health has roots that started this establishment since 1891. It has held many names, however in 1930 the Ransdell Act changed the name of the Hygienic Laboratory to National Institute of Health (NIH). There are 27 different centers and institutes that together make up the NIH. The role of NIH is to be the federal agency to oversee, conduct, and support biomedical and behavioral research. Having over 27 different centers allows the NIH to have a great impact within the healthcare system. Activities range everywhere from clinical and focusing on particular diseases to collecting health information. Looking from a Presidential standpoint, the support for activities has been a rollercoaster ride. Before the Bush Administration

The costs of capital and capital structures for Pfizer Inc. and its two competitors Merck & Co. Inc. and Johnson & Johnson in the pharmaceutical industry are analyzed in this memo.

It is an honor for me to lead Pfizer at this important time for both our company and the industry. I’ve spent my entire career at Pfizer and during this time I have seen the industry change and evolve in terms of customers’ needs, regulatory standards and where growth occurs. Among these changes, one of the most important has been the increasing pressure from payers, governments and society to deliver greater value. That’s why I believe there is a fundamental question facing the industry and Pfizer. Simply stated, it is: Do we have a research model that will consistently produce results that improve the lives of patients
