While there are any vital areas of every healthcare organization, CSSD (Central Sterile Services Department) is the heart that keeps the surgical procedures moving. The recent Pandemic has really brought to light some short comings. The biggest area is the fact that most CSSDs reside in the basement surrounded by other critical utility services with a direct (hopefully) link to the OR. This is an issue as the department may have not seen an expansion for years where as the OR has expanded, this results in an ever expanding workload within an ever shrinking workspace.
As we begin to emerge from the pandemic crisis many facilities are now faced with a surgery schedule that is exceeding pre-pandemic levels as patients begin to move back to the life improving/saving procedures only to find some facilities closed, and others backlogged. At Sterile Ally we work with your facility to maximize the current CSSD space you have and offer a solution to process the excess instrumentation which allows your in-house team to focus and the top priority items within your own doors.
The pandemic has made us look at many things differently and how that work gets done. Renovation plans for these areas has changed due to the pandemic and the bulk of capital dollars being utilized in alterations to accommodate the influx of these type of patients. Sterile Ally is here to help bridge that gap. Please contact us to see how Sterile Ally Inc. can help your facility or health system.
