| Comments: | I appreciate all of the effort you have put into this site. I am happy that I have another resource to go to other than trade magazines. On a side note I am certified through IAHCSMM and have gone through the Management Seminars with Nancy Chobin, the creator and Director of CBSPD and both certifying agencies are similar. I did not find discrepancies between the two. |

| Comments: | Mr. Brooks, I am trying to help SPD departments increase their importance in the hospital's heirarchy. In my past experiences, that has been accomplished with dollars. Is there a way to calculate the cost of surgeries that don't start on time? (Lost revenue, physician and patient dissatisfaction, etc.) Is there also a value that can be attributed to lawsuits resulting from nosocomial infections? Is there any other monetary value that can be assigned to whether a CS department is performing effeciciently? Thank you for your information. |

| Comments: | TIM, FANTASTIC WEB PAGE FILLED WITH GREAT INFO , JUST SOME FEEDBACK ON MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS RUNNING OUR DEPARTMENTS, IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNITED AS A GROUP OR ORGANIZATION IT WILL ONLY BE WHEN WE ALL HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED TO WORK C.S WILL WE BEGIN TO GET THE RESPECT WE REQUIRE, AS IT IS WE ARE BASICALLY TOLD WHAT TO DO BECAUSE WE ARE STILL LOOKED UPON AS SURGICAL DISHWASHERS, SOME STATES REQUIRE CERTIFICATION AND LEGISLATION IS CURRENTLY PENDING HERE IN ARIZONA TO REQUIRE CERTIFICATION THAT. WHEN WE REQUIRE CERTIFICATION AND EDUCATION AS A GROUP ONLY THEN WILL WE GET THE RESPECT THAT SHOULD AUTOMATICCALLY COME WITH OUR JOBS. THEN WE CAN CALL THE SHOTS ON TRAY WEIGHT AND STERILIZATION PARAMETERS BECAUSE THEN WE CAN SET THE STANDARDS THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW. TIM I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU AND YOUR READERS WHAT IS THE PROTOCAL ON STRINGING INSTRUMENTS IN THE DECONTAMINATION IT SEEMS THAT SOME FACILITIES ARE USING THIS METHOD AND THEY DO NOT UTILIZE DECON STRINGERS, I BELIE |

| Comments: | Supervisor/Manager Central Sterile Department I am looking forward to using this site as a resource. I agree that we must have universal standards throughout the country in the areas that affect sterile processing, much like Universal Protocol. We must and will be held accountable for our departments actions, but without consistancy amoung ourselves we are leaving our departments open for litigation. Manufactures make our jobs harder than necessary they are inconsistant with sterilization parameters and give no direction regarding decontamination. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you push for regulations and standardization. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. |
