WELCOME

On behalf of the CHES BC Chapter Executive and members, I would like to welcome you to Penticton and the 2012 CHES BC Annual Education Conference and Trade Show. This year the Trade Show and Education forum features the theme of “Achieving Quality in Healthcare”. The Conference Education Committee has put together another fantastic educational program that will inform delegates of the many opportunities to Achieve Quality in Healthcare.

I would like to offer a special welcome to our Sponsors and Exhibitors. Without their support this Conference would not be as successful as it is. I encourage all delegates to utilize the designated time to visit the trade show floor, spend time with the exhibitors and support the companies that continue to support CHES.

On behalf of the 2012 Conference Planning Committee I hope you enjoy your visit to Penticton and South Okanagan. This beautiful area has many cultural, entertainment, hospitality and historical sights to enjoy.

I truly hope you enjoy your time with us and come to see us again next year.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Speaker(s): Arden Krystal, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Brent Alley MAIBC, MRAIC. Assoc AIA

As a Clinical Operations Executive for the last several years, Arden has worked extensively with Facilities Management and other support services departments. From her perspective, the importance of establishing great partnerships with Facilities Management is a critical component to the smooth operations of our Hospital and Services and ultimately for the provision of a high quality care level. Arden’s presentation will focus on what good customer service should look like, both from the perspective of a Clinical Operations leader, and most importantly, for the patients we all serve. She will also introduce some ideas for creating excellent customer service models, drawing on the most recent literature, and how those could be tailored to the healthcare environment. Specific topics covered will include:

Creating great partnerships with clinical leadership – how this benefits everyone.

What Clinical Operations values in terms of customer service.

Innovative Customer service designs – can they work in healthcare?

How to get all employees (not just your stars) to provide great customer service as a matter of

routine.

10:30 to 11:30 Session 1A: Commissioning for LEED Certified Buildings

Speaker: Boban Ratkovich, CES Engineering PTCC – Salon C

Rocky Point Engineering

This presentation describes the Monitoring-based Commissioning process as a method for evaluating and optimizing the energy performance of LEED buildings during the first year of operation. This relatively new process consists of collecting, storing, analyzing and reporting energy use data to optimize energy performance by giving end users the ability to make informed, effective energy decisions. The methodology is elaborated through a case study of a typical hospital project utilizing synergies between building energy simulations, measurement and verification and the commissioning process.

Session 1B: Designing for Excellence in Healthcare Speaker: Brenda De Jong, RN, OHNC, COHN(C) Clinical Advisor, Occupational Health and Safety; CEI Architecture, Registered Nurse & Canadian Certified Occupational Health Nurse

PTCC – rm #1

This session will bring a clinical and evidence-based design perspective to healthcare design (new or renovation), and will show how to ensure that the CSA Z8000-11 Health Care Facilities Standards and Hospital Infection Control requirements are incorporated. Facility personnel will be challenged to plan for post-occupancy data collection to assess design outcomes.

11:30 to 12:30 Session 2A: Road to ISO Speaker: Marc Dagneau, Regional Coordinator & Mitch Weimer, Director; FHA

PTCC – Salon C Cullen Diesel

Power Ltd.

This presentation will outline the highly evolved relationship between Fraser Health’s Facilities, Maintenance & Operations and Sterile Processing Departments; how this relationship came to be through SPD’s implementation of ISO 9001:2008; the benefits of this relationship and ISO accreditation in general; the struggles of implementation, and current efforts to maintain standards and continuously improve; the organizational pitfalls, and the necessary day-to-day coordination; what we look like now—our communication structure; our team, and its development; philosophies—past, present and future; our goals, achievements, learning outcomes, and perception of the future.

Session 2B: Water, Mould & Sewage - Sweat the Small Stuff Speaker: Graham Dick, Certified Restorer™ and a Certified Mold Professional™ ; Genesis Restorations Ltd.

PTCC – rm #1

This seminar is about the complexities and challenges involved in performing restoration & renovation work safely and effectively. Every facility has a plan for catastrophic events but it is the small events which happen frequently, that often go under-reported and under-mitigated. There is little standardization on procedures for small damage events. It is the little details on large and small jobs that get missed causing pathogen exposures to occupants. I will review the top 10 issues and also look at faster ways to achieve dry standard, the use of positive and negative pressure in drying and more efficient procedures for decontamination of building materials after a sewer (cat 3) escape. There are few things that combine the four sciences of biology, chemistry, physics and psychology, stir it all together, throw it against the wall and then say ‘Figure it out, be quick, be efficient, get results, and make everyone happy.’ This is about taking the theory and standards and making it very practical.

Session 4A: CSA Maintenance Requirements: What you NEED to Know! Speaker: Gordon D. Burrill, P.Eng., FASHE, CHFM, CHC; Teegor Consulting

PTCC – Salon C

CHES members are constantly challenged to meet legislated and code requirements while working within their budgets. This session will focus primarily on the maintenance aspects of Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards. While often cited during the design stages, CSA standards are often forgotten after health care buildings have been built and their front doors are open to the public. The newest ventilation and medical gasses standards issued by CSA both contain significant changes in their maintenance chapters which are often referenced by Provincial legislation. Facility Managers are faced with hundreds of different documents each day, and sorting through all of the language can be a daunting task. Come and find out what you NEED to know to keep your facility working safely and efficiently.

Session 4B: Pros and Cons of Amines Use – Steam for Hospital Humidity Speakers: Vince Aalten, Sales & Service Manager & Mike Royal, Account Manager; IPAC Chemicals Limited

PTCC – rm #1

The goal of this presentation is to provide current information and relevant experience regarding Amine use to the target audience to assist in making informed decisions within their facility as to Amine use for steam boiler system protection. After providing the audience with a basic understanding of the chemistry involved with Amine usage in Steam Boiler systems, the IPAC Chemicals presenters will list the areas of Amine application and identify potential areas of concern within the hospital environment for Amine usage. With the Industry Standards understood, we will list the Pros and Cons of using Amine treatment, and identify control options to minimize risk.

09:00 to 10:00 Session 5A: The Future is Here: CSA Z8000 Speaker: Gordon D. Burrill, P.Eng., FASHE, CHFM, CHC; Teegor Consulting

PTCC – Salon C CJP Architects Ltd.

This session will introduce attendees to the new national standard for health care facility design and construction: CSA Z8000-11 Canadian Health Care Facilities. This new standard was published in September of 2011 and will influence every element of health care facility planning, design and construction in Canada. The presentation will give listeners the background they need to understand the new standard and how it will impact their work. CSA Z8000-11 provides requirements and guidance from concept to construction. It is intended to be used by all facilities providing health care services regardless of type, size, location, or range of services. It was developed for use by architects, engineers, planners, project managers, contractors and builders, commissioning teams, facility managers, maintenance managers, infection prevention and control personnel, and other health care professionals. If you are involved in the planning, design or construction of health care buildings, you will be affected by this standard.

Session 5B: What's in a Label? Speaker: Tim Cole, Director of Environmental Initiatives and Product Development ; Forbo Flooring Systems

PTCC – rm #1

Facility managers need to make sure they make the right choices when selecting products to lower the environmental footprint of their facilities. With numerous environmental labels and certifications in the marketplace today, it is difficult to decipher what they measure and their relevance as it relates to building products. This presentation will review topics such as single vs. multiple attribute certifications, third party labels, LCA’s and the LEED rating system.

Session 6A: The Human Face of Infection Prevention during Construction Speaker: Dr Elizabeth Bryce, Regional Medical Director, Infection Control, Vancouver Coastal Health /Vancouver Acute

PTCC – Salon C

Infection prevention and control is vital in both the planning stages for healthcare facilities as well as during construction. From an infection prevention perspective, planning focuses on design that minimizes cross-transmission of microorganisms and encourages good infection control practices while during construction the goal is to provide the best possible protection for patients, visitors and staff members. Those involved in implementing infection prevention guidelines seldom experience the “human face” behind these measures. This session will use clinical vignettes to illustrate the importance of why we have matrices and guidelines and attempt to present the human aspect of why we do what we do.

Session 6B: Updating or Designing Containment Solutions for Healthcare Facilities Speaker: Matthew Crouch, Hns.B.Sc., National Segment Manager, Life Sciences & Containment; CAMFIL FARR GROUP

PTCC – rm #1

Proper filtration and procedures for isolation and containment spaces, is a possible area of concern addressed by the new CSA standard. Many sites, both older and newly designed, are not meeting these requirements. However, this can be remedied with the systems to meet standards and protect patients and staff – the key is to understand the options available that can fit into existing mechanical spaces without compromising safety or ease of use.

EDUCATION SESSION SPEAKERS cont’d: Matthew Crouch, Hns.B.Sc., National Segment Manager, Life Sciences & Containment - CAMFIL FARR GROUP. Even as a young man, Matthew was fascinated by science; he enjoyed the study of physics, chemistry and modern psychology. His first encounter with research was in high school, where in he was employed as an eco-toxicologist at the Canadian Center for Inland Waters research facility. This curiosity peaked in University; instigating him to change majors after first year, transferring from Psychology into the Biochemistry program. After completing his undergraduate degree, with a specialty in Genetic Engineering, Matthew settled into life as a lab technician.

Something was missing, however. Matthew’s scientific curiosity was tempered with a drive for something more; success in the business world. Interested in taking on a new challenge; attempting to merge his passion for both fields, he left academia to take on various roles in the Biotech community. This included one of his greatest challenges - move into hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and help the researchers there get back on their feet. Adventure, new challenges, and travel – he found them all, and then some. But when the job was done, the next challenge called him back home to Toronto, managing the needs of Canada’s largest hospitals and most prestigious scientists. Under the banner of Roche, Matthew provided solutions and consultation for the nation’s best and brightest researchers.

Needing to step outside his comfort zone yet again; but still boarding his expertise, Matthew then took up arms with the global air-filtration leader, Camfil Farr. Specializing in healthcare, life sciences and hazardous / biological containment, he assists end-users, contractors and consulting engineers in the design and implementation of filtration solutions, coast to coast. Matthew also works with end-users in all disciplines who wish to lower their energy consumption, operate green, and minimize carbon footprint. He is actively involved with the ASHRAE, ISPE and CHES organizations. Marc Dagneau, I have specialized in sterile processing maintenance first as a technician and now as a regional coordinator for the last six years. Together with Mitch Weimer, FHA FMO Director, and our management and technical teams, I have been working to standardize our procedures, policies, parts supply, documentation, database building and equipment maintenance reporting. The primary objectives of this initiative are risk mitigation, uptime, and quality outcomes. My skill set comes from a somewhat diverse variety of life experiences, formal education, hands-on mechanical experience and technical management training. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English literature and a minor in professional writing, which I paid for by working with my hands. During breaks in my formal education, I travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, North Africa and North America, which I believe adds a worldly depth to my perspective on things and my dealings with people. After graduating from UVIC, I started a family and challenged my 4

th class power engineer’s certificate with steam

time I earned at Ridge Meadows Hospital. I quickly gravitated to sterile processing maintenance and the diligent documenting that is attached to this kind of maintenance in an ISO 9001 accredited region.
