Departmental Work Flows (Including Clinics)

We have the experience to ensure your Sterile Processing Department work flow is optimal. We customize each work flow to meet the needs of each facility we visit. We listen to each customer to understand the subtle nuances that effect each department. This personalized approach helps ensure expectations are met for both the healthcare organization and Dr. SPD.
1. Decontamination
Cleaning the medical device is the single most important stage in the entire sterilization process. It is imperative that the decontamination area is working efficiently.
2. Assembly
Assembly is the balancing act between quality work and the need for accuracy. Assembly is also the last opportunity to inspect surgical instruments before they are sterilized and used in the procedural areas.
3. Sterilization and Storage
Is your sterilization capacity optimal for your case volume? Sterilizing your medical devices is only half the battle. Where do you put it all? Space is the luxury every department wishes they had. There are variety of systems and process that can be used to help maximize every inch of usable space to ensure you are getting the most out of your department. We can help you come up with creative solutions to improve your capacity.
4. Decontamination, Sterilization, and Sterile Storage Zones
We can help each organization create defined separation to ensure each aspect of reprocessing is completely separate such as decontamination, sterilization, and sterile storage.
5. And so much more!
There are a multitude of areas that can detract from the overall productivity of your department. Lets us help you unlock your departments true potential.
