The Real Dirty Data: Spotlight on Decontamination Scanning
The decontamination area of Sterile Processing has a lot of nicknames: "Big D", "Decon", "The Wall", "The Hole," "The Dirty Side." Whatever your team calls it, one common theme seems to come up again and again -- this area is often filled with systemic scanning challenges. On this Episode 2 of Season 16 "Yes, We Scan!", we sit down with Michelle Sirex, Beyond Clean Advisory Group member and Education Specialist at Overlake Medical Center to chat about why scanning compliance is so problematic in decontamination. Tune in for Michelle's thoughts on the potential data gaps during the decontamination phase of reprocessing, and why these missing data points can be a big deal for your team. We hope you can join us!

Flip It & Reverse It: Going From Electronic to Manual Tracking
Everyone talks about going FROM manual tracking TO electronic tracking in Sterile Processing. But what if that were reversed. What if you had to go FROM scanning & tracking back TO the old days of writing & hunting for trays? What would you learn? What skills would you need to be successful? On our Season premiere of Season 16 "Yes, We Scan!", we sit down with Joseph Martin, Beyond Clean Advisory Group member and SPD Educator at UC Health to discuss his unique experience of managing an instrument tracking database at a Level 1 Trauma hospital, then transitioning as an Educator to a smaller facility who was still doing manual tracking. Tune in for Joseph's insights on how technology (and the absence of it) impacts department culture, training, and the depth of knowledge required for ensuring every instrument goes #BeyondClean. This is a conversation you never knew you wanted to hear! We hope you can join us!
