our method is not soooo green and effective!

i have to get better ideas than our nursing director has!!...we were using a plastic jug/pitcher for pts's use .it has a plastic liner that we change q 24h for infection control issue.now our don decided that the liner has been pretty expensive and has decided to use styrofoam cups that can only hold 500-600mls of water and is not earth friendly..it drives me crazy because i have to refill it every med pass !!!it is sooooo not working and we have already told our don about this but shes not listening..i bet we are dumping truckloads of thse styrofoam cups every day ..

what do you use in your facility???

we have plastic jugs that are changed of an evening by the kitchen staff who put them through the dishwasher. If a resident runs out of water during the day we just refill them with the appropriate thickness of water. I work in LTC and assisted living though (I think) so we might be slightly different

Every facility I have worked in has water pitchers or mugs of some kind. Some are better than others. The better ones are double layer like a Thermos to keep water cold (and I'm sure much more expensive!) All were sent daily to be run through the dishwasher.

The last LTC I worked at had water rounds twice a shift.

Styrofoam only- boy is she in the dark ages!:uhoh3:

ive seen that thermos like container and it may be expensive but its a wise investment rather than styrofoam cups that we get to tossed every 8h;one of our arn tole her that almost all of the hospitals have ditched using the styrofoam cups 14 yrs ago and you know what our don answered??:angryfire"oh,well then we'll be ditching ours to after 14 yrs.."

arrghhh...
