• Conduct and document monthly infection control inspections, safety rounds, and "Clean Sweep" inspections to ensure equipment calibration, functionality, and regulatory compliance.

• Maintain documentation related to equipment issues, repairs, inspections, and incident reports.

• Adjust workflow as needed to support quality assurance activities and changing departmental priorities.

• Champion quality improvement initiatives while promoting patient safety, staff engagement, and an inclusive, respectful work environment.

• Deliver age-appropriate, patient-centered care that addresses each patient's physical, psychosocial, educational, and safety needs.

• Provide exceptional customer service by treating patients, families, physicians, visitors, and colleagues with professionalism, courtesy, and respect.

• Maintain knowledge of applicable regulations, accreditation standards, Corporate Compliance requirements, the Code of Conduct, and organizational policies while participating in required compliance education and activities.
