Hi guys!

What's the commonly encountered problems you got in your institution in terms of equipment issues , software or etc... and how do you think you could solve it?

-in our hospital was upgrading the patient records from paper to computer...still no improvement as everyone is too lazy to transfer the infos !

Our most common problem: Some techs just never seem to be able to find a little extra time to knock off an equipment chore (ie: monthly cell washer maintenance). (Yet some other techs seem to be able to tackle all on the quarterly equipment chores on one Sunday that isn't too busy!)

For the problem you mentioned, sometimes you just have to actually assign the chore to specific individuals. (Hint: If you do that, make sure you also specify a time deadline to the task!)

We used to assign tasks equally to every one, including reviews since we have soooo many. Now we have someone to take care of the reviews and QC investigations, validations. Maintenance is still split up and we have a deadline for each. Our problem is to motivate a couple of techs and to keep OT under control.
