  What would you do if you were the in-charge of this ED?

801 RESPONSES D B#1  Heng Lin – Thursday, 16 February 2023, 11:54 AMHealthcare facilities must create centralized and highly monitored storage rooms or warehouses to secure PPE supplies. For example, one of the biggest problems during the Covid-19 pandemic was the shortage of PPE supplies. When covid hit the world, nobody was ready, and everyone was panicking about getting PPE supplies. People are selfish, and this is just human nature. As a result, many healthcare workers took the PPE supplies home for their family and friends. Sure, we all understand the reason behind the action, but what if everyone was doing the same thing? Let’s take N95 masks as an example. What if everyone who worked in the hospital took the PPE supplies without asking? If there is no centralized monitoring system, who knows you are taking it? Especially if the world were in the middle of the pandemic, people would not care about taking a couple of extra N95 masks so their family and friends could be safe. This is why healthcare facilities must create centralized and highly monitored storage rooms so that people can not just take whatever they want during the pandemic. By creating a centralized and highly monitored storage unit, the PPE supplies will not only be safe, but the facilities will also be able to allocate the right resources in the right places.802 DB 1Interpersonal Communicationby Betty Hayes – Thursday, 16 February 2023, 11:51 PMInterpersonal CommunicationTrust is indeed a critical factor for successful collaboration and cooperation in any team. When trust is present, it triggers a sequence of steps that promotes the oneness of the company. The first step that enhances strut is diversity appreciation and cultural competencies. Trust is the foundation for appreciating and respecting diversity. When team members trust each other, they are more open to learning about different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives (Ivan, 2022). This leads to greater cultural competence, which is the ability to work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. Secondly, trust leads to the development of interpersonal communication. When team members trust each other, they are free with one another, which helps them talk openly, honestly, and constructively. They are also more willing to listen to others’ perspectives and ideas, which leads to better collaboration and problem-solving (Ivan, 2022). Moreover, it helps develop good work relationships as individuals can build strong relationships in any team. Trust leads to loyalty and increased job satisfaction. In this case, when team members trust their colleagues and managers, they are more likely to feel valued, respected, and supported. This leads to greater job satisfaction and a stronger commitment to the organization. Moreover, there is an increased commitment where team members feel a sense of belonging and a shared purpose. This leads to greater commitment to the team’s goals and the organization’s mission. Trust leads to more productivity (Ivan, 2022). This is because teams are more likely to work together efficiently and effectively. They are also more willing to take risks and try new ideas, which leads to innovation and improved performance. All these lead to organizational success. Trust is the foundation for achieving organizational success. When colleagues trust each other, they believe in togetherness and work towards achieving the same goals and results. This creates a positive work environment, which attracts and retains top talent, increases customer satisfaction, and ultimately leads to the organization’s success.802 DB 2Discussion Post #1: Trust Me – Kizito Uzoma Ndugbuby Kizito Ndugbu – Wednesday, 15 February 2023, 11:38 PMTrust plays a crucial role in the success of an organization by creating a positive and supportive environment that fosters collaboration and communication.
