Prevent Surgery Program Disruption

Is Sterile Processing Disrupting Your Surgery Program?

Sterile Processing (SPD) is increasingly an area of regulatory focus. SPD's that lack effective strategy to efficiently reprocess and sterilize surgical instrumentation fail to meet the demands of the surgical suite.

A poorly run Sterile Processing Department can result in increased inventory and operational expenses, higher risk of Hospital Acquired Infection, and eventually, global service line failure.

 Signs of Sterile Processing Department Failure: • Surgeon and OR dissatisfaction • Case delays/scheduling conflicts • Reliance on IUSS “flash sterilization” to meet surgery demand • Unprocessed trays at 7:00 a.m. • TJC / CMS conditional findings • High SPD staff turn-over.
