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.

Articles-On-The-Go: If we Don’t Recall Washer Loads, Do we Really Care About “Clean”​?

In this episode of Articles-On-The-Go, Hank examines the strange practice of failed washer tests, and our response to them.  Why aren’t we recalling these loads?

“… when we turn our gaze back to decontamination, we appear to give lip service to our own mantras and then shrug off verification failures as if sterilizers can overcome what we never really got clean.”

Special Treatment: The Machines that Make Our Sterile Processing Water…Usable

You’ve probably heard terms like “critical water” and “reverse osmosis” thrown around in inservices and certification textbooks in your Sterile Processing department.

On this episode 6 of Beyond Clean season 13, we sit down with Jeff Holland, Director of Health Sciences at Evoqua Water Technologies to discuss the machines that take our department water to the next level of quality. Tune in to hear Jeff share his passion for producing safe water for safe surgical instrument reprocessing and get inspired to ask more questions about your current department water program to ensure it’s getting all the special treatment it deserves.

Articles-On-The-Go: People Actually DO Leave Jobs: Stop (only) Blaming Toxic Cultures and Bad Bosses

In this episode of Articles-On-The-Go, Hank talks about some other reasons that people might leave their current positions, besides toxic cultures and bad bosses.

“But here’s the deal guys – it’s simply untrue to say that people never leave jobs for any other reason, because….actually they DO. Even a “winning culture” with bosses who would do anything to see their people succeed, can’t overcome inherent short-comings about certain jobs and industry scenarios that a simple cliché about toxic cultures can’t explain.”
