[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation for a 60-day remediation plan to reduce hospital-onset C. difficile infections across a 4-hospital system, balancing infection-control effectiveness, EVS operational feasibility, and supply/contract constraints (including whether to switch to sporicidal disinfectants and how to sequence training, monitoring, and procurement).

[R0.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, private to=Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager): Let's begin by assessing our current cleaning performance metrics. The last cleaning effectiveness audit showed only 71% UV marker removal across 18 units, while our target is 85%. Can we discuss the challenges that the Environmental Services team is facing in meeting these standards?
[R0.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, private to=Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director): I appreciate the feedback on our cleaning performance metrics. The challenges we face primarily stem from staffing levels and scheduling constraints which affect our ability to consistently meet the 85% target for UV marker removal. Additionally, we need to enhance training and monitoring to ensure adherence to our cleaning protocols. Can we explore potential solutions that may help us address these issues effectively?
[R0.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): Let's discuss our current disinfectant usage and the potential shift to sporicidal wipes. I'm particularly interested in understanding the clinical and operational considerations that will support this change. Could you share insights on any anticipated challenges or readiness for implementing new protocols?

[R1.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, private to=Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager,Supply Chain Contracting Director): Thank you for highlighting the staffing and scheduling challenges, and I agree that enhancing training and monitoring will be vital. To address the shift to sporicidal wipes, we need to ensure that our team is adequately trained on the new protocols and that our supply chain can meet the demand without interruptions. Can you provide insights on the current staffing levels and any anticipated needs for additional support during this transition?
[R1.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, private to=Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director,Supply Chain Contracting Director): Currently, our staffing levels are a concern, as we have a limited number of trained personnel to handle the transition to sporicidal wipes effectively. I recommend assessing our current staffing against the increased demand this change will create. Additionally, we should consider scheduling additional training sessions to ensure all staff are prepared and equipped to adhere to the new protocols. This will be crucial to achieving our infection control outcomes and maintaining cleaning effectiveness. Can we explore potential options for temporary staffing support during this transition?
[R1.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): I appreciate the insights on staffing challenges. Given the increased demand from switching to sporicidal wipes, we should consider not only temporary staffing solutions but also how we can streamline training to cover the essential protocols efficiently. Could we identify specific roles within the team that might require immediate support, and perhaps outline a training schedule that aligns with our procurement timelines? This will help ensure we are ready to implement the changes smoothly without compromising on infection control standards.

[R2.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, private to=Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager,Supply Chain Contracting Director): Let's outline a training schedule that aligns with our procurement timelines and identifies the key roles in need of immediate support. I suggest we prioritize training for those responsible for cleaning high-risk areas, especially the oncology units, as they have shown a higher incidence of hospital-onset CDI. Additionally, we can explore options for temporary staffing to alleviate the pressure on our current team. How does that sound?
[R2.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, private to=Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director,Supply Chain Contracting Director): I agree with the priority on training for those responsible for cleaning high-risk areas, particularly the oncology units. We can outline a training schedule that focuses on essential protocols while also assessing our staffing needs. Additionally, I recommend we explore the potential for temporary staffing solutions to ensure we maintain our cleaning effectiveness and adhere to infection control standards during this transition. Let's create a detailed plan that encompasses these elements to present a comprehensive remediation approach. What do you think?
[R2.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): I agree that developing a detailed training schedule is essential. I propose we draft a plan that prioritizes the oncology units and outlines the necessary temporary staffing solutions. This way, we can ensure that our cleaning protocols are effective and that we are ready for the transition to sporicidal wipes. Let’s collaborate on this plan and set a timeline for our next steps.

[R3.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): I appreciate everyone's input. It seems we are on the right track with prioritizing training for the oncology units and considering temporary staffing solutions. Let's draft a detailed remediation plan that reflects our discussions, including a timeline for training and procurement of the sporicidal wipes. Once we have a draft, we can review it together to ensure it meets our infection control standards and operational feasibility. How does that sound?
[R3.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): I believe we are making significant progress on our remediation plan. I suggest we compile all our discussed points into a cohesive draft that prioritizes training for the oncology units, addresses our staffing needs, and outlines our procurement timeline for the sporicidal wipes. Once we have that, we can schedule a review to ensure everything aligns with our infection control standards. Would everyone be on board with this approach?
[R3.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): I believe we have a solid foundation for our remediation plan. Let's ensure that we finalize the draft with all the outlined priorities, including the training schedule and procurement timeline. I suggest we set a deadline for the draft completion so we can review it together and make any necessary adjustments before moving forward. How does next week sound for our target review date?

[R4.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): I agree with the proposed timeline for our review next week. Let's ensure we all work together to compile our points into a cohesive draft by then, so we can effectively address the remediation plan for the oncology units and the transition to sporicidal wipes. Thank you both for your collaboration on this important initiative!
