Question

GOOD NEWS!! The hospital where you work is getting a brand new break room! It will be a centralized break room for all departments on the same floor – laboratory, pharmacy, rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum. Since this will be a common break room, all departments must share the decisions and costs involved.

Your team has a representative from each department. Your report will include information from the representative from each department - laboratory, pharmacy, rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum. You will have to decide what the laboratory representative's decisions would be, what the pharmacy representative's decisions would be, and the same for the rehabilitation, labor & delivery, and post-partum's representative's decisions would be. You will change "hats" 5 times for this case

• As a team, you must decide what type and how many refrigerators to purchase. Keep in mind that most employees take their lunch and there is an average of 16 employees per department during every 8 hour shift.

• After doing some research from the perspective of each of the 5 team representatives on refrigerators, create an evaluation grid and write a one paragraph conclusion/summary of at least 15 sentences of your decision.

(Need help making an setting up the evaluation grid and getting started on the 15 sentence paragraph)

The break room is a place where the staff stay and take rest during their break time in working hours. Atleast there was 16 staff members in each department four of each department can use one refrigerator.

In the laboratory they may also use the refrigerator for storage of valuble chemicals and some specimens. So, they need two more refrigerators than the usual ones.

The pharmacy staff members require some more refrigerators to store the medicines. So they are allocated with5.

The rehabilation and labor staff are given onlyrequired amount because most of them are busy in patient and treatment and do not use break room more frequently.

The post partum ward contains rush hours and busy staff they too do not use break room commonly.

The break room should always be clean and should provide calm environment for the physicians and other healthcare workers.
