Change Investigation Proposal Form
Provide a brief description of the change you will investigate and your plans for the investigation.
Brief description of the change you will be investigating:

The first change that will be investigated is something that the hospital in question has complete control over and thus should make every effort to limit and correct and that would be patients contracting infections during surgery at the hospital. There has been a spike in patients getting infections during surgery and this is absolutely unacceptable. A strict observation of what the current professionals are doing, how they are doing it and so forth will be assessed but there will also be a significant amount of study applied to the concept of which sanitizing methods are the most effective and thus yield the lowest infection rates.

Hospital Crisis Management Planning The study of crisis management is one of the most written about issues of importance. This is true in part because crises can happen to any or all types of organizations (from businesses to community or governmental initiatives), and they can arise on a broad variety of levels.
