The Ins & Outs: Critical Insights for Tracking Clinic Instruments May 16, 2022

Show notes

If you want to elicit groans and frustrated head shaking from a crowd of Sterile Processing professionals, mention the word: Clinics. With healthcare and procedure-based services increasingly growing outside of the OR environment, reprocessing support of clinics has become a major source of challenge among departments across the US. On this episode 7 of Season 16 "Yes, We Scan!", we sit down with Angela Benson, Sterile Processing Education Specialist at UW Health in Madison, WI and Beyond Clean Advisory Group member, to talk about why clinic reprocessing is such a complex issue, and dive into best practices to get it under control. Tune in for Angela's perspective on what works, what doesn't, and how to leverage your tracking system to hardwire transparency and quality for your clinic customers. If your SPD supports internal or external clinics, this is one interview you will not want to miss!

On this CE approved release of Articles On-The-Go, tune in for insight into preparing your department's Sterile Processing technicians for growth opportunities right where they are: "As you interview for entry level SPD tech positions, always be thinking about what inherent qualities this person has for future leadership opportunities -- and, if you can, try to hire folks who are smarter than you. This will mean that you look for more qualities in a potential candidate than just the ones that will make them a high performing tech.
