Does a minimum wage maintenance worker in a hospital really need to understand any goals beyond keeping the facility clean?

The
maintenance worker serves an important role in the hospital. Not only do they assist with
keeping patients' rooms clean, they also keep doctor's offices and waiting rooms clean. This
gives patients a good first impression of the hospital. While maintenance workers do not need to
be aware of hospital goals such as managing patient pain, there are many goals that everyone in
the hospital should know.

The maintenance worker should be aware of HIPPA
laws, and they should not share patient information. Patient confidentiality is a major legal
issue, and everyone in the hospital should be aware of these laws. Maintenance workers also play
a major role in breaking the chain of infection. They must be aware of sanitation standards in
the hospital and use proper personal protection equipment when cleaning patients' rooms. Many
hospitals have listed goals for managing infectious diseases or post-operative infections.
Maintenance workers should know these goals and act to achieve them....
