Comments:I'm CRCST for a huge medical company and I agree with all you have said. Certification is the first, step in the right direction but we have a long jorney ahead of us in sterile processing departments. We are not look up as part of the health professionals, let us all continue the good fight for high quality patients, care and excellent service. One day soon we will be paid for the quality of work we do in the SPD departmen and respected take care.

Comments:Hi Todd, Eloquently stated. After 30 years of managing complex clinical enviornments of care, there is none more complex than the Sterile Processing Department. The roles and responsibilities for maintaining instruments and complex peices of equipment is truly one of the most technical challenges in the delivery of perioperative patient care. I appreciate your knowledge and expertise. Most importantly, your obvious love of teaching others. I am sorry I did not have a chance to meet you while you were here. Please let me know when you will be in town the next time. Regards, Bev Self

We need to address this issue more and educate our staff to create a less inection rate or our patients ..

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: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.

Comments:I really like your website and constantly want to improve myself and the department. Please keep up the great work. Allow me to offer up my support in trying to come up with a more unified way to run and establish our departments. I absolutely agree and I am throwing myself at your feet. I actually thought only our hospital showed SPD no respect. Again, I am eager to help.
