COVID Workplace Redesign

This grassroots workflow redesign from Porter Services has transformed/improved our service quality Island-wide.
In late March, provincial direction was received outlining the urgent and essential need to conserve PPE. Following this directive, a member of the Porter Services team, Michelle, floated an idea which would prevent significant PPE wastage. Throughout many facilities, yellow gowns have been historically and informally used for the visual flagging of isolation/precautionary transports. Michelle’s creative suggestion was that by replacing the use of yellow gowns with yellow tree flagging tape, normally used in forestry, significant wastage could be reduced. Porter Services immediately sourced an appropriate product and implemented the new procedure island-wide. This workflow redesigned has resulted in significant PPE conservation, infection control risk mitigation, and financial savings for the organization. Pictured is NRGH Porter Michelle, whose bright idea has lead to procedural efficiency, PPE conservation, and enhanced service quality.
