From Good to Best with Destination 10!
Recently, healthcare organizations have begun to appreciate the impact of the Environmental Services department on patient satisfaction. Cleanliness as perceived from the patient and family’s perspective is a major factor affecting overall patient satisfaction. With national attention on hospital-acquired infections, the important role of EVS departments in preventing the spread of potentially harmful bacteria has become significant. The Destination 10® Process is designed to move EVS departments from Good to Best. When the Destination 10® process is already being employed in the food service department it makes sense to also utilize Destination 10® in EVS to take advantage of economies of scale. Utilizing Destination 10® in EVS creates an alignment of management and staff across these two important service provider departments with the common goal of providing optimum customer service.
