Beyond Clean

Even though their tools and equipment touch nearly every surgical patient in the world, how much do you really know about the people, processes, and products used in the Sterile Processing industry? The Beyond Clean podcast offers a creative look into the inner workings of a healthcare industry surrounded by challenges, disrupted by change, and committed to getting it right — every instrument, every time. The team at Beyond Clean will bring on some of the biggest names in surgical instrument reprocessing and provide commentary on the biggest issues facing Sterile Processing professionals, facilities, administrators, manufacturers, and vendors. Join us every week as we explore the hidden world of one of the most important aspect of safe surgical care.

“I Got It!”: Why Initiative Makes the Sterile Processing World Go Round”

In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch describes how initiative makes all the difference in Sterile Processing — “Something as mundane as an alarming buzzer on a cart washer, has a way of separating the can-do and will-do personalities from the can’t-, won’t-, or won’t-do-it-with-a-smile-on-my-face members of our team. We learn a lot about the inner drive of the SPD technician who is the first to yell, “I got it!” when that buzzer goes off for the tenth time of the night. And we learn just as much about the technician who pretends to be too busy, too focused, or selectively deaf to the inconvenience that initiative calls them to take part in.”

It’s Time to Call It: Unleashing the Power of the Conference Call for Sterile Processing Improvement

In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers a powerful leadership tool and what prevents leaders from using it:  — “It is understandably hard for some of us to admit when we do not know how to fix something ourselves, especially if we are department managers or directors with departments full of technicians looking to us for direction on a daily basis. Admitting we don’t have all the answers shows weakness, and if you are not filled to the brim with self-confidence, this tinge of weakness can be all it takes to keep us from ever picking up the phone in the first place.”
