The environment is being heavily impacted by  the poor economic climate, with cutbacks being seen originating from different potential revenue sources, including managed care and insurance companies, as well as other sources of income, such as patients  and funding available from other sources, such as government sources. This has resulted in many healthcare facilities that would find ways of cutting costs. A great deal of attention has  been paid to these cost cutting measures, which have impacted negatively on staff as well as patients, including staff redundancies as well as cutbacks in some nonessential services. Within this  context there are benefits to finding ways to reduce costs were not have a direct impact on staffing levels of quality of care. The idea of reducing the costs associated  with oxygen while not having a direct impact on staffing levels of quality of care are attractive. The change was implemented with a multidimensional approach, seeking to reduce the overall  input costs though inventory management, as well as reduce costs by lessening the level of wastage. Change involved making adjustments to the way in which oxygen was ordered, adjusting to  EOQ method, this required inputs from different departments in order to calculate the most cost efficient way of ordering different levels, as well as information regarding the optimal level of
