What's the Big Deal with Big Brother? Taking a Look at Surveillance Cameras in Your Sterile Processing Department Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers the reasons for and against using surveillance cameras in SPD: -- "A single large fragment implant tray could easily walk out our door to the tune of $120,000. To reference more recent incidents, a hospital could see $450,000 worth of colonoscopes stolen in broad daylight. Surveillance systems are a known deterrent of these kinds of crimes of opportunity, and can give much peace of mind to department leaders who struggle with high foot traffic around their storage areas."

Show notes

In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers why employee retention may not be the best metric for measuring your department's success: -- "One of the unfortunate things that employee retention encourages is keeping the status quo in place. This metric or measurement does not account for the many good reasons that a department may experience a high degree of employee turnover. Here are five of the most persuasive examples of when and how low employee retention numbers are something to celebrate..."

"I Got It!": Why Initiative Makes the Sterile Processing World Go Round May 25, 2023

Show notes

In this CE-approved release of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch describes how initiative makes all the difference in Sterile Processing -- "Something as mundane as an alarming buzzer on a cart washer, has a way of separating the can-do and will-do personalities from the can't-, won't-, or won't-do-it-with-a-smile-on-my-face members of our team. We learn a lot about the inner drive of the SPD technician who is the first to yell, "I got it!" when that buzzer goes off for the tenth time of the night. And we learn just as much about the technician who pretends to be too busy, too focused, or selectively deaf to the inconvenience that initiative calls them to take part in."
