“A Great Investment in Our Communities”: Strengthening Nunavut’s Whole-of-Society Search and Rescue Capabilities

Community-based organizations along with territorial, provincial, and federal agencies are responsible for search and rescue (SAR) in the Canadian Arctic. In delivering response capabilities at all hours of the day and for 365 days a year, the community-based organizations face a wide array of challenges. Using the data collected through the Kitikmeot Search and Rescue Project and the Kitikmeot Roundtable on SAR, coupled with academic and non-government organization literature, this article explores the major challenges facing community SAR organizations in Nunavut and builds a case for how targeted investment can best bolster community-based capabilities. We suggest novel, practical, and holistic solutions that have been proposed by or co-devised with community partners, are rooted in the unique context of Nunavut’s communities, and are reflective of a community resilience-building approach. One set of recommendations involves strengthening current programming, including the expansion of Nunavut Emergency Management’s inReach program, continued support for the enlargement of the CCGA, streamlining the process to activate Canadian Ranger patrols, and encouraging greater cooperation in the provision of training by federal and territorial agencies. We also propose new approaches, including a whole-of-society preventative SAR program centred on educational and youth programming, the adoption of a SAR equipment usage rate model, and the launch of a Community Public Safety Officer program in Nunavut. Finally, to justify greater investment at the community level, we argue that policymakers must change how they conceptualize community-based SAR capabilities in Nunavut. An effective SAR system is about more than the ability to respond to emergency events. It is a critical enabler to broader objectives and goals prioritized in the Arctic and Northern Policy Framework and other federal, territorial, and Inuit strategies.

Analisis Faktor-Faktor Penyebab Kendala Triple Constraint Proyek Konstruksi Akibat Pandemi Covid-19

Proyek konstruksi mempunyai sasaran (target) tertentu dengan batasan-batasan mutu pekerjaan, anggaran dan jadwal, yang dikenal sebagai triple constraint. Perbedaan keberhasilan proyek disebabkan karena tiap proyek mempunyai permasalahan/kendala yang berbeda. Permasalahan proyek konstruksi di Indonesia khususnya Kota Jakarta semakin pelik sejak pandemi covid-19. Hal ini disebabkan kesulitan pengadaan material kontruksi, pembatasan pekerja (social distancing), kondisi keuangan, sulitnya mengurus keadministrasian karena kantor pemerintahan memberlakukan work from home (WFH), pembatasan memasuki Kota Jakarta dan lain-lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penyebab kendala (pertambahan biaya dan keterlambatan) serta berapa besar pengaruhnya terhadap pelaksanaan proyek konstruksi di Kota Jakarta selama pandemi covid-19. Metode penelitian adalah metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif, dengan pengambilan data dari penyebaran kuesioner kepada 38 responden yang terdiri dari, project manager, construction manager, engineer, inspektor, QHSE, K3L, dan safety officer. Kuesioner diolah dengan program SPSS v.22, untuk uji validitas, uji reliabilitas, uji korelasi dan uji regresi. Dari hasil analisa regresi dengan uji t didapatkan 3 faktor yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pelaksanaan proyek konstruksi selama pandemi covid-19 di Jakarta yaitu kualitas bahan yang kurang baik (faktor material), penerapan teknologi baru yang belum dikuasai dengan baik (metode kostruksi) dan sulit melihat laporan laba rugi per proyek (biaya).

A Qualitative Analysis of the Needs and Experiences of Hospital-based Clinicians when Accessing Medical Imaging

As digital imaging is now a common and essential tool in the clinical workflow, it is important to understand the experiences of clinicians with medical imaging systems in order to guide future development. The objective of this paper was to explore health professionals’ experiences, practices and preferences when using Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), to identify shortcomings in the existing technology and inform future developments. Semi-structured interviews are reported with 35 hospital-based healthcare professionals (3 interns, 11 senior health officers, 6 specialist registrars, 6 consultants, 2 clinical specialists, 5 radiographers, 1 sonographer, 1 radiation safety officer). Data collection took place between February 2019 and December 2020 and all data are analyzed thematically. A majority of clinicians report using PACS frequently (6+ times per day), both through dedicated PACS workstations, and through general-purpose desktop computers. Most clinicians report using basic features of PACS to view imaging and reports, and also to compare current with previous imaging, noting that they rarely use more advanced features, such as measuring. Usability is seen as a problem, including issues related to data privacy. More sustained training would help clinicians gain more value from PACS, particularly less experienced users. While the majority of clinicians report being unconcerned about sterility when accessing digital imaging, clinicians were open to the possibility of touchless operation using voice, and the ability to execute multiple commands with a single voice command would be welcomed.

The Role of the Radiation Safety Officer in Patient Safety

The role of the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) is to prevent unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation and maintain necessary exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The RSO is delegated broad authority throughout the organization by senior management. This authority includes permission to stop unsafe practices and identifying radiation protection problems, initiating, recommending, or providing corrective actions and verifying implementation of these actions. For the most part, these efforts are focused on maintaining radiation doses to employees and the public ALARA. Regulations do not address a role for the RSO in reducing radiation exposure to patients, except when unnecessary exposure is suspected due to equipment malfunction or human error. There is increasing concern about the risks of cancer and other effects from the use of medical imaging procedures. This chapter will discuss the tools and resources available to the RSO to educate members of the medical community and senior management on the need to manage radiation doses to patients so that the physician is able to obtain information necessary to properly diagnose and treat patients while avoiding unnecessary exposure.

The Role of the Laser Safety Officer and Laser Safety Programs in Clinical Practice

Recent advancements in laser technology have led to its expanded utilization in smaller clinical settings and medical spas, particularly for facial rejuvenation and the treatment of other aesthetic concerns. Despite the increasing popularity of this technology, discussion of laser safety programs has remained limited, mostly to operating rooms at larger clinical institutions. Although smaller facilities do not operate at the same capacity as a large hospital or medical center, the requirements for utilizing a laser are no less stringent. Employers must comply with local and federal regulations, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) General Duty Clause, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, and professional recommended practices applicable to their business. Although the laser safety officer (LSO) is often a full-time position within larger facilities, smaller clinical settings and medical spas may be limited in staff number. It is important, therefore, that clinical practices establish laser policies and procedures with consideration of their individual needs and capabilities. In this paper, we will define a laser safety program, highlight basic requirements needed to establish this program, and outline the specific responsibilities of the LSO. To ensure that safe laser practices are being conducted at the healthcare facility, it is imperative that small business owners are aware of these regulations and standards in place for the operation of laser systems.
