As part of the Caba District Hospital (CDH) Environmental Preservation and Protection Program, the hospital staff implemented the regular clean up drive around the hospital on March 6, 2019 at CDH, Poblacion Sur, Caba, La Union.
Chief of Hospital Dr. Gretchen F. Aromin initiated this activity to ensure a safe, clean and healthy environment for all the patients and hospital personnel.
CDH staff came together as one family to clear all the waste and conducted the 5S routine, “Sort, Straighten, Sweep, Standardize and Sustain” in their respective unit or section.
5S are words that describe the steps of a workplace organization process. In simple terms, the five S methodology help a workplace remove items that are no longer needed (Sort), organize the items to optimize efficiency and flow (Straighten), clean the area in order to more easily identify problems (Sweep), implement color coding and labels to stay consistent with other areas (Standardize) and develop behaviors that keep the workplace organized over the long term (Sustain).
As an incentive, the Infection Prevention and Control Committee along with the Program and Awards Committee will be choosing the three cleanest and organized units or section. They will be given a Certificate of recognition as Best 5S Implementer for the month.
Family Day cum hospital clean Up Drive is a monthly activity of the hospital which is scheduled every first Wednesday of the month followed by a boodle fight and general staff meeting in the afternoon.
