STERILE PROCESSING


“With increased tray storage and decluttered space, it is now etremely easy for them to walk down an aisle and find what they need,” Ezell commented. “Before, you would see stacking and other clutter that introduced safety hazards, especially in times of staffing challenges. e know their staff has been pleased with the results and that our work has exceeded the employees’ expectations.” “Not only did the implementation of the HALYARD and

In the CS/SPD department of NorthShore Skokie Hospital, the decontamination area was generally regarded as uncomfort- able and crammed, with staff members bending over sinks, manually flushing with syringes, and having low visibility due to poor lighting. Quality of work environment changes were needed to ensure the quality of the sets coming out of the department. Additionally, enhanced ergonomics and organization would make it easier for technicians to perform at the high level required. To accomplish these goals, NorthShore Skokie Hospital implemented Pure Processing healthcare reprocess- ing sinks and the FlexiPump Independent Flushing System in its CS/SPD department.
