SPD Program


SPD Managers are challenged with budgetary issues each and every day. One of the most important line items, and one that is often the first to be cut is money for training and continuing education

A unique and innovative frequent purchaser program called "Sterile Processing Dollars (SP Ds)" has been developed with these issues in mind. Your institution will earn these SPD points with every purchase of a Healthmark product for your Sterile Processing Department (Central Supply, Central Service, Sterile Supply). These points can then be used to purchase educational materials for you and your staff. Healthmark has teamed up with IAHCSMM(International Association of Hospital Central Service & Materials Management) and CBSPD (The Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution) to provide the most comprehensive educational materials and programs available for Sterile Processing/Central Supply Professionals and Technicians.

You can use your SPDs to cover the cost of your registration and books, you or your organization will only need to pay for travel, room & board expenses.

If you can't make a national conference use your SP Ds on registration for a local IAHCSMM or CBSPD meeting. (Check with your local group to see if they are a participating partner in the SPD program).  SPDs can be spent not only for meetings but on all of the CBSPD and IAHCSMM educational materials including these types of valuable tools:
  1. TEXTBOOKS
  2. BOXED COURSE MATERIALS
  3. PUBLICATIONS
  4. TRAINING KITS

The newest addition to the library is AAMI's ST79 - the industry standard for best practices in device reprocessing by a healthcare facility - is now being offered with the purchase of 12000 points.
