Abstract

This text discusses the importance of Fire Extinguishing Equipment in fire prevention within healthcare facilities. Through a literature review, the author explores the understanding of the significance of using Fire Extinguishers, which are an integral part of healthcare facility safety. Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and laboratories, are equipped with advanced machinery, cutting-edge technology, and hazardous chemicals. In day-to-day operations, the use of electrical equipment like MRI machines and ventilators increases the electrical load, while the presence of flammable materials like medical oxygen makes it even more complex. Smith, Miller, and Hamilton's research highlights that fires in healthcare facilities not only result in material losses but also pose a real threat to patients with limited mobility or critical conditions. The success of Fire Extinguisher utilization depends on the collaboration of various components, including Fire Extinguisher maintenance, awareness campaigns, Fire Extinguisher usage training, and coordination among staff during fires to ensure the safety of all parties involved. Fire Extinguishers play a vital role as first-response tools when fires occur. However, to prevent fires in healthcare facilities, proper electrical installations, well-organized cables, and personnel safety must be considered. Further research is needed to identify factors that can reduce the fire risk in Healthcare Facilities. To enhance healthcare facility safety, the use of Fire Extinguishers and an understanding of risk factors should be integrated into a holistic prevention strategy.

Abstract

This article reviews the critical process of patient discharge from hospitals and its challenges, with a focus on the length of stay (LOS) as an indicator of therapeutic success and treatment costs. Emphasis is placed on the importance of accurate diagnosis, appropriate discharge planning, and the prevention of readmissions to the hospital. Utilising the Calgary Family System Theory (CSFT) and the concept of Person-Centered Care (PCC), this piece underscores the significance of an individualised approach, patient involvement in decision-making, effective communication, and multidisciplinary collaboration in the discharge process. Thus, effective discharge planning can enhance the quality of patient care and reduce the economic burden associated with patient readmissions.

Abstract

This research is motivated by several reasons, including: Firstly, at this time, there are philosophical foundation errors applied by educational institutions, namely that education in Indonesia is generally influenced by a Western paradigm that tends to be secular. Secondly, it is time for the Muslim community to apply educational principles based on Islamic teachings derived from the Quran and the Sunnah. As for the writing method, this study uses a normative philosophical descriptive analytical method that is adjusted to literary sources. The research results indicate that Islamic education is based on the concept of tawhid, which is an effort to effectively apply the values of Islam that can bring about a transformation of values and knowledge in its entirety to individuals, society, and the world in general, in accordance with transcendent values.
