A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: The Many Challenges Of Sterile Processing
2015
Overview
In a roundtable discussion, several executives expressed their views on the challenges of sterile processing. Rose Seavey, president/CEO of Seavey Healthcare Consulting, said that a lack of resources and education. Some sterile processing staff don't know what they don't know because they have not been exposed to the most current recommendations. Donna Swenson, president and CEO of Sterile Processing Quality Services, Inc, thinks that the biggest issue has to do with designing medical devices that can be easily cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized but that perform the way the user/surgeon wants. Damien Berg, performance improvement consultant for University of Colorado Health, said that healthcare facilities should develop a training program with or without an educator, and they should dedicate a couple of hours each month for all shifts to participate in education. They also should understand what is being measured for productivity and learn how to utilize their staff the correct way.
