Assignment Content
Resource: Sustainability Initiative, Part 1 Assignment Worksheet (Complete the Worksheet for this assignment).
SustainabilityInitiative_Part1.docx
Select a health care setting and organization on which you will focus for your sustainability initiative (e.g., local hospital, veterans’ hospital, ambulance service, urgent care, nursing home). Analyze the setting and organization you have selected and break it down to the main departments, employee roles, operating activities, and so on. While doing so, brainstorm opportunities to reduce costs or eliminate waste while improving patient care or outcomes. Review the list of sustainable initiatives from the list below, and select one that you want to promote for your selected organization:
Energy efficiency
Lighting
IR scanning
Cogeneration
Kanban Inventory
Device exchange
CR pack reformation
Device reprocessing
Red bag waste reduction
Blue wrap recycling
Note: Ensure that the opportunity you select correlates with the setting you select. Additionally, if you want to complete a sustainable initiative that is not on the list, obtain approval from your instructor before completing the assignment.
Identify data sources you might need to collect and analyze for your initiative. Consider contacting people in the industry and in your organization who may be able to help.
Write a 525- to 700-word summary of the sustainability initiative you want to promote at the health care setting you selected. Your proposal should:
Create a clear vision or mission statement that defines the scope of the initiative and would generate buy-in.
Define what outcomes you expect to achieve over time.
Be specific with what you can realistically deliver.
Cite 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality).
Use the Worksheet to complete this assignment.
Submit your assignment, the completed worksheet. Resources
