The Art & Science of Surgery: Confronting the Burden of Perfection
What’s going on in the minds of our surgeons when the patient rolls in, and they take hold of the scalpel for their first incision? If we better understand the burdens of life & death they bear with each procedure, will that help how our Sterile Processing teams can effectively serve them? On this Season 19 premiere of “The Surgeons We Serve,” a season focused on spotlighting the intersection of surgeons & surgical instruments, we sit down with Dr. Bryan Sagray, DPM FACFAS, foot & ankle surgeon, artist, and writer, to dive into his insights on the art & science of surgery. Tune in as we discuss the creative side of surgery, confronting the reality of surgical complications, and the need for greater understanding among all members of the perioperative team. For many of you this may be the first time you’ve ever heard a surgeon directly speak about Sterile Processing, so if you want to hear more, make sure to connect with Dr. Sagray directly on Linkedin to let him know what you thought: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-sagray-dpm-facfas/

Surgery Starts Here: Communicating the Real Value of Sterile Processing
How can your Sterile Processing department move a directionless group of people with ineffective processes and a shortage of reprocessed instruments to a team that collaborates and communicates with the Operating Room on a regular basis? What practices or tools are necessary to improve communication between both departments, and within the SPD itself? On this week’s Beyond Clean special release, we’re sharing an exclusive interview from the 2014 HPN SPD Department of the Year award winner, SPD Manager at Jim Tyrell SPD Manager at Silver Cross Hospital, from our “Conference of Champions” event earlier this year. Join us to hear from Jim and Marybeth Antone, Procedural Care Unit Administrative Director, about how they expanded the scope of their SPD responsibilities and how their team improved through internal process-improvement programs to build an award-winning department.

Marching to Zero: Leadership, Vision, and SPD Success
How many unsterile trays are waiting for you every morning when you arrive in Sterile Processing? Do you feel like you’re always playing catch-up, but constantly falling further behind? On this week’s Beyond Clean special release, we’re sharing an exclusive interview from the 2018 HPN SPD Department of the Year award winner, SPD Manager at Advocate Aurora Christ Medical Center, from our “Conference of Champions” event earlier this year. Theodule knows the feeling of overcoming unprocessed trays very well. When faced with an average of 650 unsterile trays every morning, shockingly high IUSS rates, incomplete trays, missing instruments, and a skyrocketing employee turnover rate, Theodule and the team at ACMC developed and implemented an interventional plan to improve operations and service quality for reprocessing instruments and trays. How? By embracing the concepts of process improvement and lean methodology. They used process flow mapping, spaghetti diagrams, and time studies to reorganize the department into an efficient and safe work area. Join us to hear from Yves and Katie Sikora, MSN, RN, CNOR Executive Director of Surgical and Endoscopy Services to find out how they put this plan in place and began their “March to Zero” to improve the crucial work being done in their Sterile Processing department.
