Beyond Clean Podcast

How often should your surgical instruments be repaired? Should your repair partner be on-site every week or should it all depend on your facility usage data? On this season finale episode of the Beyond Clean podcast, we flipped the script and interviewed Beyond Clean co-founder and CEO Justin Poulin about one of his favorite topics - usage based instrument repair. Whether you have a current repair schedule in place in your department or you are trying to fine tune your repair program to meet quality standards and lengthen the life of your instrument inventory -- this episode is for you!

What needs to be said about the #SterileProcessing industry that hasn't been said yet? Who's voice needs a platform to share their passion for the mission of patient safety with a listening world? We asked these questions when Beyond Clean was founded nearly three years ago, and we continue to ask them each and every day. As the Beyond Clean revolution has continued to grow, the opportunities we have to promote best practices, magnify new voices, and engage with a diversity of subject matter experts in device reprocessing has gotten larger and larger. We believe that one person on a mission can literally change the world, and we have created a platform to make that as easy as possible for the innovators, leaders, and disruptors out there trying to make it happen. On this episode of Fighting Dirty, Hank and Justin sit down to discuss the various themes that they see coming out of podcast interviews and industry conversations on a regular basis. Everything from C-Suite involvement to mentorship could be the bridge that carries our teams over their current challenges and puts on a road to real success. Tune in for an insider's look on what we think is making our industry tick! #BeyondClean #WeFightDirty #SPD #CSSD #MDR #Themes #Passion #BestPractice #Innovation #Disruption #CSuite #Mentorship #Podcast #FightingDirty
