Her desire to\ninfluence and effect change led her to study law, which subsequently led her to\nCapitol Hill, where she dedicated her time to shaping environmental policies.\nDuring this period, Shari&#8217;s fascination with Indoor Air Quality took root,\nspecifically focusing on infection risks posed by microorganisms in the air,\nsuch as mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driven by the urge to have a more hands-on and direct impact on these crucial issues, Shari established CleanHealth Environmental nine years ago, and she hasn&#8217;t looked back since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Shari brings her diverse perspectives to the\nforefront, assisting healthcare facilities in comprehending the complex web of\nlaws, rules, and regulations that govern them. She constructs tailored programs\nand standard operating procedures to ensure effective, efficient, and\nconsistent execution of these regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Done right, or conversely, done wrong, these aspects have a\nsignificant influence on the day-to-day operations of healthcare facilities.\nThey play a pivotal role in ensuring patient safety, staff training and safety,\nand the ability to retain those staff. These aspects can also affect patient\nsatisfaction scores, which, in turn, can impact revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating the intricacies of healthcare requires a nuanced\napproach, and Shari adeptly breaks down the complexities to show us that\nachieving excellence in all these areas is not only possible but necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, we also delve into the updated ICRA 2.0, a\nHealthcare renovation and maintenance industry standard that helps us evaluate\nthe risks involved in construction or renovation activities within active\nhealthcare facilities. Shari provides insights into what ICRA 2.0 is, who\nshould be concerned, what&#8217;s new, and how to prepare for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare for a comprehensive crash course on Infection Prevention and Industrial Hygiene, guided by someone who is truly making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shari Solomon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/deepdive.tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Solomon-2018-headshot-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deepdive.tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Solomon-2018-headshot-.jpg 285w, https:\/\/deepdive.tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Solomon-2018-headshot--199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shari L.
