Tipple went to the Basma Centre for two weeks to do a broad management assessment. She most recently returned for a week in March. Before leaving, she briefed the students in her Health Care Operations Management class on a quality improvement project focused on hand-washing compliance.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nOnce at the Basma Centre, she used a virtual management board to post information, questions, video interviews, reports and photos online. Applying a quality improvement process known as \u0093Plan, Do, Study, Act,\u0094 Tipple and her students completed knowledge and competence assessments for the staff, which included the use of a lotion that simulates the behavior of real germs with particles that glow under a black light.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093The students were enthused enough about the project to check in every day over spring break,\u0094 she said. \u0093They did a beautiful job and this provides an interesting model that could be applied elsewhere.\u0094<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nTypically, each Basma Centre staffer saw 15 patients a day, and needed to hand wash before and after each patient. Tipple and her class learned that some physical therapy students on rotation did not receive the same orientation as the regular staff, that only half the hand-sanitizer dispensers were working, and that more access to moisturizers for dry skin was needed. The single greatest barrier was the lack of time between patient visits.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nIn order to find time, the class came up with a creative solution.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093We decided to engage mom and the child in hand-washing as part of their therapy,\u0094 Tipple said.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nWhile most of the staff spoke some English, the children and their mothers did not.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093But we came to know each other through our eyes and hearts,\u0094 Tipple said.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nKelly White, in her third year of graduate school in Marymount\u0092s <a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/Academics\/School-of-Business-Administration\/Graduate-Programs\/Dual-Degree-Programs\/Health-Care-Management-Business-Administration-M\">Health Care Management\/MBA<\/a> program, said the experience sparked her interest in learning about global health care systems.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093Just because a project involves multiple steps and structured pre-planning, it doesn\u0092t mean that the solutions will be complex to initiate\/implement,\u0094 White said.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\nSamuel Aremoh, working toward his master of science degree in <a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/Academics\/School-of-Business-Administration\/Graduate-Programs\/Dual-Degree-Programs\/Health-Care-Management-Information-Technology-M-S\">Healthcare Management\/Information Technology<\/a>, said it was an honor to be part of the student team.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093Marymount exposes students to real life scenarios so that students can see and apply their skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to a real life problem,\u0094 Aremoh said. \u0093The school encourages me to provide service at no cost to help humanity even in a different nation.\u0094<\/p>\n<p>\nPhoto captions<br \/>\nPhoto 1<br \/>\nCynda Tipple, top row, second from right, is a continuing faculty member in Health Care Management &#038; Legal Studies at Marymount University.
