OBSTACLES FACED DURING STUDY:

It would be suitable to mention the hurdles we faced in conducting the study at this stage. Problem in getting appointment due to some official requirements. Delay in conducting personal interview due to strikes & bad law and order situation of the city. Due to time constraints & other issues, only one respondent was interviewed & other information was collected through observation. Respondent didnt allow us to take photograph of policy charts, sheet because of security & other issues. Secondary data available comprises of issues which are less relevant to our objective of research.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS

INTRODUCTION:
At its core, Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management approach to longterm success through customer satisfaction. (1)In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services and the culture in which they work. TQM views an organization as a collection of processes. It maintains that organizations must strive to continuously improve these processes by incorporating the knowledge and experiences of workers. The simple objective of TQM is Do the right things, right the first time, every time. (2)

Aga Khan University Hospitals' Overview:

Aga Khan University Hospitals in Karachi, Pakistan and Nairobi, Kenya are philanthropic & private institutions providing high quality health care. Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, started operations in 1985.This University Hospital provides services to over 50,000 hospitalized patients and to over 600,000 outpatients annually with the help of professional staff and facilities that are among the best in the region. Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi is committed to providing exemplary health care, as a teaching hospital their patients benefit from the expertise of the competent health care professionals dedicated to improving the health quality in Pakistan.(3) The decision to implement Quality was made and in November the Joint Staff Committee (JSC) one of its sub-committee titled Quality Assurance Coordinators Committee (QAAC) was formed. 1985 onwards basic Quality Assurance methodologies were introduced in different department with reporting mechanisms to QAAC, JSC and the Board. April 1993 TQM workshop in Nairobi was conducted by Dr. Don Berwick. March 1994, training of 21 key staff members as facilitators by Juran Institute/ Qimpro associates. In 1985 before starting of its complete operations staff were as trained by Chicago based American company named as SERVICE MASTER COMPANY. (4)

Jinnah Hospital Overview:

The JPMC is a public hospital. The hospital was established in 1959. In the beginning the hospital operated in a building, which was actually an army barracks constructed in 1865 and transferred to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre in 1959.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS JPMC is arguably Pakistan's largest hospital. It has a large number of wards and the doctors are proficient. (5)

ABOUT 5S HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION:

Housekeeping does not mean only cleanliness, it means much more than only cleanliness. Good housekeeping means cleanliness, tidiness and PLACE FOR EVERYTHING & EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE. Good housekeeping promotes Quality, Safety, Productivity and Clean environment. Good housekeeping ensures that there is a place for everything which means that the company has inventory of every needed item and can get rid of unwanted material, having low unneeded inventory ultimately means lesser cost. Good housekeeping also helps in ensuring that everything is in its place which results in discipline and identification system in the department and ultimately eliminates searching time with improved productivity and high moral.(6) 5S is a systematic approach towards housekeeping. The concept of good housekeeping has been with Japanese for a very long time. It was only in the early 1980s that good housekeeping became a pertinent issue in Japanese industries, as companies realised its powerful contribution to productivity and quality improvement. The basis for good housekeeping in Japanese companies is a concept popularly known as 5s. This stands for five good housekeeping concepts in Japanese Japanese Concept of 5S: SEIRI SEITON SEISO SEIKETSU SHITSUKE (Sort Out The Item and Discard The Unwanted) (Place For Everything) (Clean The Place Thoroughly and Keep Everything In It`s Place) (Maintain High Standards of Housekeeping at Workplace at all Times) (Train People to Follow Good Housekeeping Discipline).(6.1)

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS

ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION OF 5S AT AKUH:

Aga Khan Hospital implements 5s housekeeping by constituting and modifying the concepts of 5s. The housekeeping at AKUH does not directly follow the steps of 5s housekeeping, but their methodology falls under the umbrella of 5s housekeeping. As the concept is Japanese and any is rather unfamiliar in Pakistani environment, hence concept is comparatively difficult to apply with its originality. Therefore, AKUH has made certain amendments in accordance with the local culture and environment. Through interview the following housekeeping application at AKUH has been highlighted:

1: SEIRI

(Sort Out the Item and Discard the Unwanted)

The housekeeping department at AKUH has 522 employees including 80 females, comprising of 15 supervisors, 2 secretaries, and 1 assistant secretary. They are scheduled into three shifts. They are then sorted, meaning that the worker is appointed for cleaning of a certain place, he/she has to clean the same place same time every day. This prevents the workers from not completing their task and leaving it for others to complete. There are three types of ward at AKUH, the General ward, Semi-private ward, and Isolation ward as shown in fig.no1.

Figure 1

General ward

The Mobs & dusters used in GENERAL WARD are sanitized & reused.

Semi-private ward

Mobs used in SEMI PRIVATE WARD are also sanitized & resused.

Isolation ward

All Mobs & dusters used in thirs ward are not re-used rather they are burned. as isolation ward has critcial patient So to prevent germs from spreading they ar burned.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS AKUH has a unique method of getting rid of /disposing of waste: as shown in fig no2. These bags includes the dicsarded material which has avery high potential of transfering diseases e-g used syrings,gloves,mas ks,vaccinations etc.

GREEN BAGS

Thes include all wastages which are less infected like specimen,liquid& solid waste etc.

BLUE BAGS

RED BAGS

These bags include all wasted food.

Figure 2

Red bags AKU never disposes of these red bags in the ordinary way, in order to avoid their re use and recycling, these bags are burnt out at AKU insulators. As per MR. Deedar AKU recently outsourced pollution free insulator from France. Both green and blue bags are further packed in the cartons and given to the contractors to discard. The material being wasted after chemography and radiology are retained for up to 3-4 months in the hospital and then a team is being outsourced from abroad to discard this waste. Apart from all activities of housekeeping, there is a special activity at AKUH known as PROJECT WORK. It is periodical, done every Friday. It includes, shampooing, scrubbing & polishing.

Figure 3

For this the housekeeping workers are divided into 4 types.

Type 4: does all the 3 types of work &have capability & the responsility to b the supervisor in case the supvisor is absent.

Type 1: Clean the place, and dry mop

Type 2:Floor scribbing by using ,3 types of scrubers are used.

Type 3:Plolsih the place

Figure 4

2: SEITON

(Place for Everything)

Organzing at AKUH: Everything was so organized by ensuring that there is place for everything. We obsereved from corridor to wards ,from library to labotaries,cafeteria everyhting was organized in a best way.

Figure 5

The inventory related to housekeeping is outsourced from FAISALABADs Sitara chemical in large containers on monthly basis. The expiry period is being tagged on each container; the chemical (sodium hypochlorite) is to be used in ratios daily for making the solution i.e1/39. This solution has to be used within 24 hours and the remaining is discarded as it becomes ineffective. Moreover the inventory includes dusters, mops (dry and wet) and discarded mops. The workers are guided to ensure first that the patients donor have any allergy to these chemicals such as asthma and then start cleaning the rooms. All stuff necessary for operations & functioning of services were at its place in excellent manner.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS

3: SEISO (Clean the Place Thoroughly and Keep Everything in Its Place)
AKUH is one of the best hospitals in Pakistan for its cleanliness & hygiene environment. View of Aga Khan Hospital entrance, which looks to be totally clean and green. The idea behind making the hospitals clean is to make the patients feel better as they step in the hospital. We can say that third step of 5s that is sieso (Clean) is followed in its true sense in the Aga Khan Hospital.

Figure 6

AKUH gives utmost importance to cleanliness and hygiene. As the turnover of patients daily is 125-130, therefore, whenever a patient is discharged, the bed sheets, the mattress and the bed is sanitized. It is then hygienically ready for the next patient. The disinfectants and sanitizers are properly tested and then used for cleaning. AKUH uses Sodium Hypo chloride as disinfectant, which is supplied by Sitara Chemicals in Faisalabad. The level of chlorine should be 5-7 in this chemical. The Inspection Control Team maintains the record and is responsible for this. For cleaning of the floor fig.7 shown process is used. This has to be used with great care as it can spoil clothe, materials, but it is the most effective disinfectant.

4: SEIKETSU (Maintain High Standards of Housekeeping at Workplace at all Times)

To maintain high standards of housekeeping at workplace at all times AKUH has a 7 step

cleaning procedure as follows:

1.High dusting 2.Sanitation 3.Dry Mop 4.Wet Mop 5.Machine usage 6.Shampooing of floor 7.Self cleaning
Figure 8

For sustaining the best practices of standardization in housekeeping, AKUH has allotted time to workers to complete their task on time. A standard is also maintained with the diluted disinfectant that is it cannot be used after 24 hours of its dilution. This is done to achieve maximum effectiveness of the disinfectant. Short circuit cameras are used to inspect and overcome the problem of theft.

5: SHITSUKE

(Train People to Follow Good Housekeeping Discipline)

To maintain and sustain good housekeeping services, the housekeeping staff at AKUH at its inception was trained by SERVIVE MASTER COMPANY, which is one of the best Chicago, based Service Company. They were skilled with best services of housekeeping which has led AKUH to a standard. The management of housekeeping believes that it is their responsibility to first practice the housekeeping application themselves, which will set the example for the rest of the workers to follow the same, otherwise the workers take advantage of this.

ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION OF 5S AT JINNAH HOSPITAL KARACHI

Jinnah Hospital Karachi unlike Aga Khan University Hospital lacks application of 5s housekeeping. Though it is one of the oldest and government owned hospital, still it has no proper housekeeping application system, making it depict an unhealthy ambiance. Jinnah Hospital rely heavily on the traditional housekeeping practices of cleaning the hospital daily, sometimes occasionally, that is whenever there is inspection from any government official the hospital is made spic and span, and might even shine. But this courtesy of cleanliness is not maintained by the housekeeping department at Jinnah. There is no sorting of the workers and their task, no scheduling, which gives the worker upper hand to make their own wills of doing or not doing work. The emergency department, patient wards, patient beds, floors, walls, corners etc. all are unclean either with dust, or other littering material. This makes the hospital an unhygienic and unhealthy place, or one might say the hospital deviates from its purpose of providing health facilities at their best.

Figure 11

It has been well said that standards precede from upper management, the housekeeping management at Jinnah Hospital lacks interest in maintaining a proper system and ensuring that it is being carried out at all levels, thereby making the hospital inefficient in providing quality

services to its customers.

Effectiveness of 5s in Aga Khan Hospital and Jinnah Hospital Karachi

5s has effectively contributed towards hospitals management in their smooth running. It has made the work of doctors much easier, rather made their work mistake proof. Aga khan has made wonderful contribution towards implementation of 5s in its hospital and trying to improve as much as it can. The extent to which they are implementing is reflected as we visit the hospital, totally green, clean and clear, everything looks to be in its place. Whereas the case seems to be totally different, when you visit Jinnah hospital in which most of peoples access is easy because of it low cost. Any emergency case of this metropolitan city is handled by Jinnah hospital, where everything should be of standards of health regulation but it is not so. There you will find contaminated environment, no sign of cleanliness and everything untidy. We have collected different pictures from different sources to defend above said reality.

A Glance at Jinnah Hospital and Aga Khan Hospital

As it is said prevention is more than cure, but here at Jinnah hospital it seems to be untrue. Patients are welcomed by different diseases borne from this water. This stagnant water is the best place for the mosquitos growth as well as different diseases also arises from here.

Figure 13

This is view of Aga Khan Hospital entrance, which looks to be totally clean and green. The idea behind making the hospitals clean is to make the patients feel better as they step in the hospital. We can also conclude that third step of 5s that is sieso (Clean) is followed in its true sense in the Aga Khan Hospital.

This shows the care for the patient in the Jinnah Hospital. It is one of the rooms beside the ward that is full of sewerage water allowing the germs to grow.

Figure 23 (7, 7.1)

This is very brief comparison of effectiveness of 5s housekeeping application in hospitals. We covered both hospitals which implement 5s & which dont implement it to know how big the result & benefit of application of 5s is housekeeping. As by looking the environment of Jinnah Hospital it is clear that there is no concept of 5s in this hospital. The environment is totally hazardous for the health of patients that is why Jinnah Hospital has lost its identity in providing quality service to its patients. Where as in Aga Khan totally different environment is provided, patients feel relaxed as they enter into hospital by looking its greenery and cleanliness.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS

Conclusion:
Aga Khan University Hospital has left no stone unturned to achieve the best possible quality for their patients. Since its inception they believed on quality of service for their patients. They are the first who got ISO 22000:2005 certified in Nutrition and food service department. The first ever hospital in Pakistan based on food production and service in Pakistan to be certified on these specialized food safety standards. Although 5s is a Japanese concept but very well implemented at aga khan hospital. Aga was good example for us where we could see the practical application of 5shouskeeping application unlike Jinnah hospital Karachi. The staff of aga khan is very cooperative n very well educated which add one more attribute to their excellence. Whereas in Jinnah hospital, a lot of improvement is needed and that is not possible without government intervention. Being a cheaper hospital, mostly lower class patients are admitted to this hospital, they are treated very rudely by the staff and no standardized procedures are followed for proper cleaning. In a nutshell, the implementation of 5S at Jinnah hospital is a great challenge for the Government of Pakistan.

5s HOUSEKEEPING APPLICATION IN HOSPITALS

CHAPTER XI
RECOMMENDATIONS: We suggest following recommendations for aga khan for continuous improvement and overcoming their problems When possible, the housekeeping staff must take care of the patients themselves too. If they are doing their cleaning, and the patient needs a pillow, wants propped up in bed, needs a drink, or whatever non-medical request they might have, the housekeeping staff should do all that they could do to help. All the patients should be called fifteen (15) minutes before their appointment, so they may not wait much in hospital and the waiting area can be easily cleaned as there would not be long queue of patients. Customer should be informed all about their disease by doctor; he should give his due time for consultation and let them know about their remedy. It will also build trust between doctor and patient. They can conduct weekly or fortnightly seminars for the patients, suffering from same disease. It will help them to cure themselves as soon as possible. We suggest following recommendations for Jinnah Hospital to improve and overcome their problems Jinnah hospital needs to implement the housekeeping concept, since the people working at the hospital do not even know the basic activities that are carried out by housekeeping staff, so proper training must be provided to the staff. Even though outsourcing is an option available for housekeeping. Jinnah hospital does not even have a hygienic waiting area, all the patients (including even those who were infected with chronicle diseases) sit in the same waiting area, where the probability of disease catching is very high. So proper cleanliness of waiting area and separate waiting area for patients with chronicle diseases is required. The government must take measures for overall cleanliness, ensuring maintenance of the building and its infrastructure, linen management, waste management, pest control, infection control, safety and security of the patients in this hospital.
