Hello,
election time, this is the time when us advocates find something to keep us
busy, parades, trips to other parts of
the earth! Rather than taking a spelling class I went to work expanding my body
of knowledge on the web. To date I have avoided the technical aspects of
Hospital Associated Infections, (HAI), that I wish to leave to the
professionals, please “HELP ME”!
O.K. first
movie, has it all, cool gadgets, sound plan, hey, “I’m in,
here we go”!

Too good to
be true, you be the judge, perhaps send me your comments!
Like I said,
most of what I have read and seen over the past year in all forms of media concerning
HAI seems to be “spin”, a reaction to a former action, in my opinion! What does not work does not interest me, I just do not have time for it, I would like to see my advocacy focous on supporting sustainable improvements.
In all honesty, in this example there are more than likely time line issues, I do remember in boot camp being told that "your unit is only as strong as your weakest member" so perhaps this event is important for my advocacy to develop. If there were anything I could do to help the good people working at Grossmont Hospital I would and so wou the rest of you, I am pretty sure of that!

Ok, as an
advocate for the eradication of HAI in our Veteran’s hospitals I would like to
hear what the debate is in the actual H.A.I. professional community. First
action, punch in HAI on Linked In, zero, no problem, that was yesterday, take
your pick:
H.A.I.-U.S.A. (Locked, please, no headhunters)
H.A.I.-CANUK (Locked, please, no headhunters)
HAI-PROFESSIONAL (open to all)
My advocacy
for the eradication of HAI in our Veteran’s Hospitals is deeply rooted in the
following article, and the projection of the “can do” attitude from the top
down, it inspired me to get out of my chair and do something, our Veterans
deserve nothing less, in my opinion! The "low tech" improvement in efficiencies reminds me of 1980's Japan to Detroit's amazement, "kaizen", now a standard in Detroit as well!
One thing that I have learned is that my advocacy will be
most effective by “supporting those who help others”, and that is you, the HAI
professional, correct me if I am wrong, the HAI professional is all of you, all
the way up to the “hai-five”!
“hai-five”

For those of you who have not figured it out yet, send me your "HAI bucket list" or ideas that are too far out there to risk your income on or perhaps a project you could use some support on, I will check it out and send it to the Oval Office and the rest of my "observers" , that is the fun part of "pro-bono", the pay is guarenteed, I can't be fired or traded, I kind of like this "advocate" stuff! Here in our humble shop our suggestion system is called "kaizen".
Today I would like to see the first "V.A.P. Free" facility recognized and certified, just pick one, there are several canadates!
The hard drive in my laptop crashed about two weeks ago, since I have been procastanating for the past year getting my 50+ checkup (colonoscopy) it gave me the idea to go with Alienware, it is the new M18xR2. Our CAM system is not Mac friendly and through the use of baling wire and duct tape I kept my old HP going for six years! It is actually assembled in Florida and no, I have no time for games but since most of my "observers" are programmers I just thought I would give a plug for the home team! The box is heavy, I will bet the graphics card weighs more than my wife's I pad!
Just having 'fun"!
