Transforming Surgical Workflows: A Lean Approach to Case Carts, Kits and Trays
Managing the flow of surgical instruments and supplies is a behind-the-scenes process that can make or break operating room efficiency. Yet, case carts, kits and trays—critical tools that bridge the sterile processing department and the operating room—often suffer from outdated processes and inefficiencies. Mismanaged workflows can lead to wasted time, increased costs and frustrated staff. Discover how using lean methodologies and modern technology transform these processes and empower teams to focus on delivering exceptional patient care. Read now.
Assembling the Right Team for New Hospital Construction
Designing a new hospital brings together architects, developers, contractors and equipment planners to create a state-of-the-art facility. However, the sterile processing department (SPD) is often an afterthought, which can cripple surgical workflows, create costly bottlenecks and force multimillion-dollar redesigns. To avoid these outcomes, assembling the right team is imperative. Explore how you can ensure your project brings the right expertise to the table for long-term success. Read now.
The Data Dilemma Holding Sterile Processing Departments Back from Their Full Potential
Sterile processing departments (SPDs) play a critical role in ensuring surgical instruments are clean, safe and ready for use. However, outdated systems and inaccurate data can hinder their ability to meet patient safety goals and properly equip the OR on time. One solution to overcoming these challenges lies in leveraging the power of “big data.” Discover more about big data and how it applies to sterile processing. Read now.
How to Avoid New Hospital Construction Pitfalls in SPD Design
