Advancing Technology
|
We must not forget that as technology advances, we as
professionals within the CSSD/SPD and the OR need to keep abreast of these
advancements. They have a direct impact on our work, namely in the area
of cleaning and sterilization and the information associated with these new
advancements within our work place. They
might be some of the greatest inventions, but, if we do not know how to clean and
sterilize them before they arrive in our facility, issues will arise.
Last week some of the updates dealt with new technology and
how it is impacting healthcare. One article focused on the space program and
the need for our exploration to continue because so many advancements in
medicine have come from our space program. Another article dealt
with how small our surgical instruments and equipment are becoming. Within that
article they talked about design features and challenges.
Remember, if you do not know an answer, keep asking until you
find out; you have a lot of different modes to get your answer than just a few
years ago.
We at Healthmark will do our best to keep you informed so
that you can make a difference in the quality of care you deliver.
Sincerely,
Stephen M. Kovach
