On this CE approved release of Articles On-The-Go, tune in for tips on tackling your missing instrument challenges: "Few things are more frustrating for front line techs than to be processing along at full speed, noticing an instrument is missing, and then knowing it will take them forever to find the proper replacement. Whether you utilize a drawer system, peg board, or bin storage for your backup instrumentation -- the key to success here is organization. Personally, I'm a fan of bin storage because it allows you to see the instruments (unlike the drawer system) and removing an instrument is not as difficult as with a crowded peg board (plus you can really make a bin system look sharp if you want to). The cultural impact of an organized backup inventory can mean the difference between a tech who happily spends 20 seconds finding the exact needleholder they need and a tech who begrudgingly leaves their table for a 10 minute excursion to the graveyard of productivity, a.k.a. the rat's nest of a backup wall you have. Don't make your techs choose between a productive night and completed surgical trays. They should want and be able to do both..."

On this CE approved release of Articles On-The-Go, tune in for ideas about keeping quality as the central focus of your Sterile Processing team: "As with many other things, your vision for quality should start at the front door. Don't hire any technician before you find out where their values lie in terms of a quality work ethic. This will mean integrating a "quality" section into your interview form. Ask them how they have balanced the pursuit of perfection under time constraints in a previous work experience. Have them describe a time when they went over and above to ensure their work product was better than required. If you communicate this standard at the very beginning, your techs will take it for granted that quality is a core value of the department -- and then work accordingly...."

On this CE approved release of Articles On-The-Go, tune in for insights on how to safely increase the speed of your Sterile Processing team: "If you are able to connect pictures with individual instruments in your tracking system, this can be a huge boost to speedy identification of items during the assembly stage. In addition to pictures, make sure you list the specific instrument manufacturer and catalog number of each instrument on the count sheet for easy verification by your techs. If your tracking system allows you to list multiple substitution information or cross-referencing, do that as well. Any info that can answer a question before it has to be asked can shave critical minutes off of processing times that would otherwise be spent trying to answer questions like, "Is this the exact Debakey forcep they want in this set?..."
