Operating Room (OR)
Personnel must ensure communication and collaboration between your OR and SPD, provide tray QAs, collect and report quality data, or offer full inter-operative and SPD accountability for specific procedures. Interim, long-term, or outsourcing options:
Emergency/Weekend Staffing
Many SPDs face significant instrument tray backlogs at the end of the week. Our emergency Weekend Blitz™ staffing services help alleviate your facility's burden caused by an influx in procedures and staffing gaps by providing rapid deployment of tray specialists with a goal of zero unprocessed trays on Monday morning.
Interim SPD and Endoscopy Technicians Staffing
With extensive reliance on sterile processing and GI staffing agency/contract labor to fill technicians and leadership voids, STERIS has significantly invested in providing a better alternative. Our SPD and GI specialists are Certified by the Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) and/or the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). They receive extensive support and training from our education, compliance, and quality assurance team to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest standards.
Leadership Staffing
As competent leadership sterile processing voids continues to exist, STERIS provides a large pool of qualified SPD leaders, from directors and managers to supervisors and shift leadership. Our leadership staff is certified and up-to-date on the latest standards.
Long-Term Staffing
Many healthcare facilities are tired of the revolving doors in Sterile Processing and Flexible Endoscopy and are faced with extensive costs associated with managing turnover (recruiting, hiring, onboarding, education, etc.). STERIS can recruit and employ local specialists for long-term contracts and/or department outsourcing to ensure continuity, stability, and consistent outcomes.
