Process Review

Interoffice mail between HSC and STB is now free. We would like the other sites to contact their mail room and find out if it is possible to send mail to HSC for free through interoffice mail, and then report back here.

• VIC: been doing it for last ~2 months Ttenbergen 13:36, 2016 May 12 (CDT)
• CON: Just started Ttenbergen 13:36, 2016 May 12 (CDT)
• GRA: apparently our courier service is now interdepartmental and does not require a cost centre for billing; not sure when this took effect

Contacted Kim Militere from HSC mail room for costs. When we send inter-office mail to other sites it costs 1$ for the large envelopes. She did not mention this being free between HSC and STB, and I did not ask. Requested documentation, they don't have any. Ttenbergen 14:14, 2014 November 20 (CST)

Template:Discussion What is your process? Do you write a cost center on side of your envelope? Where do you drop off at your site?

VIC

We use (WM) Western Messenger here at the Vic /located in the basement at the PRINT SHOP/ directly when you enter the Print Shop you will see baskets to your right/ Courier to Hosp/Clinics/and Doctors offices/ is where you drop off your envelopes. Recyclable envelopes are used /supply is located by the Data Collector Mailbox slot in the Print Shop. The Courier Log Sheet is updated each time TISS forms are sent to Pagasa/Trish. Once the Courier Log sheet is completed we send to Trish/Pagasa. We have never put a cost center on the envelope.From what I understand all letters etc are tallied up altogether and amount is sent and charged to the Vic Hospital I dont know if they subdivide to the various departments. So in a nutshell I dont know who pays when we send our stuff out. Prior to switching over to WRHA I know our cost centre was under medical intensive care.
