What’s the Big Deal with Big Brother? Taking a Look at Surveillance Cameras in Your Sterile Processing Department
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers the reasons for and against using surveillance cameras in SPD: — “A single large fragment implant tray could easily walk out our door to the tune of $120,000. To reference more recent incidents, a hospital could see $450,000 worth of colonoscopes stolen in broad daylight. Surveillance systems are a known deterrent of these kinds of crimes of opportunity, and can give much peace of mind to department leaders who struggle with high foot traffic around their storage areas.”

Dealing with Drama in Sterile Processing: Important Thoughts on Team Dynamics
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch takes a hard look at department drama and how to address it: — “Personal matters aside, your sterile processing department has a mission to accomplish, and to do so, there is a certain standard for culture and communication that must be attained. Regardless of the reasons, department drama cannot be tolerated. When technicians begin focusing on each other’s personalities and not on the work at hand, we begin doing an injustice to our patients and that is not only unfair, it’s also unsafe.”
