Central Sterile Processing Optimization

Create a High-Performing Central Sterile Processing Department

The Central Sterile Processing Department (CSPD) is a critical part of surgical services with a direct impact on operating room efficiency and quality outcomes. Yet it is often overlooked and undervalued. Our experienced team of clinical and business experts works to develop the department by enhancing relationships and collaboration with the OR department to instill infection control protocols, improve facility efficiency, and increase compliance standards.

We can also assist in designing proper central sterile logistics for department remodeling or rebuilding.
