This metric or measurement does not account for the many good reasons that a department may experience a high degree of employee turnover. Here are five of the most persuasive examples of when and how low employee retention numbers are something to celebrate..."

In this CE-approved release of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch describes how initiative makes all the difference in Sterile Processing -- "Something as mundane as an alarming buzzer on a cart washer, has a way of separating the can-do and will-do personalities from the can't-, won't-, or won't-do-it-with-a-smile-on-my-face members of our team. We learn a lot about the inner drive of the SPD technician who is the first to yell, "I got it!" when that buzzer goes off for the tenth time of the night. And we learn just as much about the technician who pretends to be too busy, too focused, or selectively deaf to the inconvenience that initiative calls them to take part in."

Which group adapts faster; a harmful pathogen or the infection preventionists that keep patients and sterile processing professionals safe? As the public health emergency of the pandemic officially comes to a close, Infection Preventionists have played a monumental role in recent years across every spectrum of healthcare. What has that look like in supporting proper PPE use in particular? Season 20 of the Beyond Clean podcast, "Armed & (Compliantly) Dangerous," is all about personal protective equipment (PPE), and in this episode, Jill Holdsworth, Manager of Infection Prevention at Emory Health-Midtown outlines her dynamic approach to staff safety. Using a unique combination of firsthand observation, just-in-time training, and even new technology like podcasts and virtual reality, Jill demonstrates the type of robust education required for keeping emerging risks at bay. Join us on the final episode of Season 20 to learn about the partnerships with infection prevention that will make the difference for frontline staff. We discuss the factors that impact compliance with PPE, get an inside look at how sterile processing professionals can work in the field of infection prevention, and dive into the new Protective Barrier (PB) 70 standard from AAMI.

In this CE-approved release of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers a powerful leadership tool and what prevents leaders from using it: -- "It is understandably hard for some of us to admit when we do not know how to fix something ourselves, especially if we are department managers or directors with departments full of technicians looking to us for direction on a daily basis. Admitting we don't have all the answers shows weakness, and if you are not filled to the brim with self-confidence, this tinge of weakness can be all it takes to keep us from ever picking up the phone in the first place."
