The Roles that Make Us Great: SP Quality Assurance Specialists

Who is watching out for all those little quality issues in Sterile Processing that could cause massive impacts to our surgical patients? On this week's episode of Season 23, "The Roles that Make Us Great," hosts Hank Balch and Bobby Parker let you in on one of SPD's most effective secret weapons—the SP Quality Assurance Specialist! Tune in as they speak to the critical QA duties this role provides to departments from audits to data tracking, to targeted feedback, to performing proactive tray checks that help identify problems BEFORE they make it to the Operating Room. You'll also get insights around why they believe dedicating time to quality improvement and hiring the right fit for this role is a non-negotiable for SPD success. If you or your team has ever had a dirty instrument make it to the OR, then you're going to find real value in this week's focus on the Quality Assurance role in SPD!  To read more on the topic of quality in SPD, check out "Give an Inch, They'll Take a Mile: How Compromising Kills your Quality Culture & How to Get it Back" on the Beyond Clean blog: https://www.beyondcleanmedia.com/post/give-an-inch-sterile-processing Season 23 of Beyond Clean releases under the 1 Episode = 1 CE delivery model.
