Sterile Processing Safety Shouldn't Be a Near Miss: Why Incident Reporting of Sharps Matters to Everyone

from Beyond Clean Podcast · host Beyond Clean Media

In this CE-approved release of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch examines the often overlooked and undocumented occurrence of used sharps being sent to SPD--"If a hospital would document a near miss or injury to a doctor due to a disposable sharp that was not properly disposed of, the same should be true for a decontaminator... All members of the perioperative continuum of care, regardless of their title, deserve the same level of protection from and follow-up to the dangers of contaminated sharps."
