How can your Sterile Processing department move a directionless group of people with ineffective processes and a shortage of reprocessed instruments to a team that collaborates and communicates with the Operating Room on a regular basis? What practices or tools are necessary to improve communication between both departments, and within the SPD itself? On this week's Beyond Clean special release, we're sharing an exclusive interview from the 2014 HPN SPD Department of the Year award winner, SPD Manager at Jim Tyrell SPD Manager at Silver Cross Hospital, from our "Conference of Champions" event earlier this year. Join us to hear from Jim and Marybeth Antone, Procedural Care Unit Administrative Director, about how they expanded the scope of their SPD responsibilities and how their team improved through internal process-improvement programs to build an award-winning department.

Each "Conference of Champions" special release episode is individually approved for 1 CE, so once you finish this interview, you can download your CE certificate immediately by passing the short quiz linked below each week.
