Not every rule is a reg..if that makes sense. And not every idea costs a lot of money either. I think teams could work very well in nursing homes. Not every rule is a reg..if that makes sense.

It worked pretty good too..I am not sure I see how it could help with nursing homes and health care though. There are so many regulations, and people's health and well being and safety are at stake. Something to think about I guess. A long time ago I worked in the computer industry and they always did these team things.

Yikes what a day THAT must have been. Wow. Teams can be a good thing so long as the work they do includes INPUT from everyone- not just those on the teams. Nothing devalues an employee more than to see NEW things happening which they had no part of. Even good things tend to go sour when people are not aware of the process and planning that went into it. One thing to be aware of with teams to: GROUPTHINK. It's like a virus. Once everyone KNOWS the answer, anything else will seem stupid or dumb or will be perceived as unworkable. Teams HAVE to think outside the box. Ahh yes the good ole no one knows who is running the show game.

There's the dept teams, like nursing, dietary, maint and facilities, activities. They all work in different directions and always at odd with one another. Nursing forgets to tell the kitchen of a diet change. Maint forgets to tell nursing the dining room floor is being re finished...activities planned a trip out to a restaurant all in the same day. Lunch=DISASTER. LOL. COMMUNICATION! The best thing for teams. The big team and the little one too. Teams at work? There’s the dept teams, like nursing, dietary, maint and facilities, activities.
