As more complex procedures shift to ASCs, these smaller facilities are tasked with reprocessing increased volumes of surgical instruments while adhering to the same regulations and standards as larger healthcare facilities. To meet these challenges and ensure surgical instruments are properly cleaned and disinfected, ASC leaders and staff need knowledge on best practices for surgical instrument reprocessing.
Learn how to lengthen the instrument life cycle and protect your investment by applying best practices for instrument and endoscope reprocessing. Identify proper care and handling, plus discover the most common instrument damages and their causes.
OR integration (ORI) systems are designed to simplify and streamline the OR by consolidating data, access to video, and controls for all devices through a central console. Learn the benefits of ORI and discuss opportunities to decrease risks related to distraction and improve patient safety and workflow through ORI.
Review current trends in complex surgical procedures transitioning to the ASC and discuss critical elements and strategies to enhance surgical site infection (SSI) prevention in ambulatory settings.
Learn about tools, guidelines, and best practices for sterilization and quality control monitoring for instrument reprocessing in the ASC.
