Did you know that healthcare environmental services management is a combination of healthcare environmental service knowledge with business and human relations skills? As such, post-secondary institutions are challenged with seamlessly integrating both into their curriculums.

One school that does a great job of balancing both aspects in its healthcare management program is Centennial College. The program, Healthcare Environmental Services Management, takes two years to complete during which students study from Morningside Campus. Because this location houses School of Community and Health Studies programs, it is outfitted with large, well-equipped industry specific laboratories and computer labs with industry specific software. As such, students obtain plenty of hands-on practice with a realistic spin before heading on two field placements (one in second semester and one in fourth semester). These experiences allow students to apply what they have learned in their classes and gain knowledge of the role and tasks related to entry-level positions in the Healthcare Environmental Services Department, which will lead to better comprehension in how to manage these positions.

Here is a look at some of the standout courses within the offering that prepare students for both placement and their future careers.

Infection Control 1 & 2: The first of these two courses establishes principles and practices of infection prevention and control in the healthcare setting. Students learn to identify relevant industry and governmental regulations, standards and best practices with regards to infection control in healthcare as well as quality assurance methodology. The second course, meanwhile, sees students apply planning, implementation, management and evaluation practices of an infection prevention and control program, while learning to effect applicable quality assurance principles.

Communication and Interprofessional Collaboration for Environmental Services: Because implementing infection control measures is a collaborative process, students learn to communicate verbally and non-verbally with co-workers, supervisors and clients. Interprofessional and collaborative care models in healthcare are examined using practical examples.

Math Application for Environmental Services: It is not enough just to learn general math equations. Thats why all of Centennial Colleges math courses are specifically designed. This one, for example, covers mathematical concepts and methods used in healthcare environmental services management. Emphasis is placed on the application of methods, concepts, vocabulary and problem solving strategies used in the industry.

Purchasing and Materials Management: Managers in this field must know the process of purchasing cleaning, linen and related supplies. As such, students examine how to apply quality standards for various environmental services categories and understand central procedures used in healthcare environmental services operations.

After completing each healthcare management course, students are prepared for employment in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement homes, commercial buildings, schools and residential buildings. It is worth noting that the diploma students earn after they graduate reflects high standards of learning and offers them transferable skills.

Universal Healthcare is being strongly considered in the United States. Universal Healthcare basically means that every citizen will be eligible for health coverage, regardless of their ability to pay for it. There are pros and cons of such a system.

First of all, let’s take a look at the pros of Universal Healthcare (also known as Socialized Medicine). The benefits are fairly obvious. If we cover each and every citizen with affordable or free health insurance, they will be able to maintain their health regardless of their income.

One major advantage of such as system is that it can literally save lives. People die in our country each day because they cannot afford healthcare. And that includes working Americans. That is a travesty! It’s heartbreaking that there are millions of people who are contributing tax dollars to our national economy who are not in turn given their most basic need: maintenance of their health.

It almost seems obvious that it’s time to take the cue from Canada and implement Universal Healthcare. Their citizens seem to be fairly happy with the system, and it has been saving lives there on a daily basis.

However, as is true with any system (no matter how good a system it is), no healthcare solution is without fault. There are some notable disadvantages to Universal Healthcare which are worth acknowledging.

One negative side effect to providing universal healthcare is that spreading something too thin causes it to lose its inherent value. If we try to spread out our healthcare, it is possible that the quality of care will go down. Why? Because the hospitals and doctors offices will have more patients to deal with!

Naturally, no doctor would deliberately decrease his or her quality of care. Unfortunately, however, if your patient count multiplies, it can be hard to keep up. This could be overcome by the increased funding from the government under a socialized system, since that could cover a boost in medical staffing.

The other disadvantage that could result from Universal Healthcare is a lack of availability of care, causing a decrease in access to healthcare for everyone, including those who could afford to pay for it. There could be waiting lists that could prevent people from getting the care they need.

At the end of the day, we have to decide if the few drawbacks are worth it, in order to help out our fellow Americans who cannot afford to have any care whatsoever.

Over half a decade after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Tenet Healthcare Corp. has ultimately settled a class action lawsuit that had been filed against the corporation.

This class action suit mentioned that the healthcare firm which was taking care of patients at Memorial Medical Centre wasn’t prepared for the loss of electrical power following the storm.rm.

In addition to this, it had been explained how the company didn’t adhere to correct evacuation plans, and didn’t take additional needed emergency actions.

As soon as the power had been cut and the levees gave in, the middle of the town started to overflow, and temperatures inside rose to over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

This situation left employees and patients trapped without a way of opening the windows or getting aid. The center waited four days for rescuers to arrive, and consequently for many it was too late.

Forty-five bodies had been collected from the medical centre after the storm, the highest quantity from any medical center in the region.

Due to the overwhelming number of deaths, the medical center was placed under significant critique. The Louisiana Attorney General, Charles Foti had three physicians arrested for second-degree murder.

Just after going to the courts, the doctors were discharged, and one of them is already in the process of suing Foti for damage and defamation to her career.

Nevertheless, the employer of those three physicians, Tenet Healthcare Corp. has been in the courts for class actions a number of times since Hurricane Katrina.

They have settled eleven other court cases handling the fundamental matter of neglect. The most current lawsuit which achieved a settlement on Wednesday was concerning Preston and Tenet.

A spokesman for Tenet has claimed the arrangement is “amicable” though no official information have been revealed since the judge still needs to accept the ruling.

All in all, Tenet Healthcare Corp. had to pay over $150 million in damages during the hurricane. Half a dozen of Tenet’s hospitals had been damaged, and the firm had planned to sell several of them around the New Orleans region prior to 2007.

This has been a hard number of years for the Preston family and for the New Orleans region generally. Because of in excess of 1,800 deaths and over $80 billion in damages, the “Big Easy” is still rebuilding even now.
