Beyond Clean Podcast

One of the best decisions to make as a healthcare professional is an informed decision and when it comes to disruptive technology, that is the only way to approach implementation. On this week's release of the Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight Series, we speak with Barbara Ann Harmer and Dave Billman about the disruptive technology of the ONE TRAY® System and the new EZ-TRAX™. We discuss ways in which these products allow facilities to do more with less, a significant benefit for both hospitals and outpatient surgery settings and Barbara shares her perspective, as a past surveyor, on ways an organization should respond to a surveyor when it comes to new technology in the sterile processing department.

There's an incredible amount of research that has been presented on and published the last 10 years about the dangers associated with improper reprocessing of flexible endoscopes. As healthcare facilities work through risk assessments to determine what process changes to implement, moving from disinfection to sterilization is likely part of that conversation. On this week's re-released throwback episode from Season 2, we spoke with Jenni Gibbs who discusses that very transition. She touches on everything from how this type of transition aligns with the mission of her healthcare facility to what staff engagement looks like in the midst of such a change. For all of you who are reading this right now and are about to listen to this interview who have thought about this change or tried to implement this transition and weren't quite successful, listen now to find out how to set endoscope sterilization up for success at your hospital.
