From the Ascendco team, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the incredible sterile processing professionals. Your dedication to patient safety and commitment to keeping instruments clean and sterile is truly inspiring. You are our heroes! 💙
#SterileProcessingWeek
Decontamination is more than just receiving and cleaning trays. Daily and weekly tests ensure instruments are cleaned properly. Using a tracking system can help keep these key workflow steps and your department running smoothly! #Sonar#SterileProcessing
In the computer science world, there is a saying:
“Garbage in, garbage out.” And it means exactly what you’re thinking! If you don’t supply your analytics engine or team with good information, you will not get the results you are hoping for.
#DataDriven
The future of surgical instrument tracking is here! Intelligent locations and beacons on trays, combined with Sonar's Locator module, offer real-time, precise tray positioning, boosting decontamination and OR efficiency.
An EMR Interface is a technological bridge that enables two distinct systems—Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and instrument tracking systems—to communicate and share information automatically.
Washer and Sterilizer interfaces are often looked at as lower priority items to interface with your tracking system. But both are very important for creating a workflow and process that allows you to go paperless, and eliminates potential human error in recording.
We build a strong data infrastructure with selectable fields for precise analytics. Ascendco helps healthcare facilities streamline workflow, optimize resources, and identify crucial trends like missing instruments.
Here’s a one important thing you can do to ALWAYS be prepared for a survey instead of feeling rushed at the last minute: Ensure all documentation is complete and accurate, including sterilization records, equipment cleaning and maintenance, etc.
Sonar integrates seamlessly with your EMR system, providing access to your case schedule and preference cards. This streamlines the selection of trays and instruments by OR staff, enhancing efficiency.
In the world of healthcare, the proper upkeep of medical equipment, from maintaining surgical tools to testing devices, is not just a matter of efficiency – it's a critical component of patient safety.
Hospital acquired infections impact 2M patients yearly. The Infection Prevention team is vital in shielding hospitals from infection spread, establishing and enforcing protocols for patient and staff safety.
Establishing key process data points is crucial for rounding out a comprehensive database and activating key red screens for missed processes. Without robust process data, tracking systems can lose their value, as the accuracy of the gleaned information relies on the input data.
Productivity measurements are crucial for determining staffing requirements and more. When analyzed effectively, this data is a valuable asset, providing insights beyond staffing to strategic workflow management, debunking misconceptions about merely timing tasks.
Two common challenges hindering technicians' success are: 1. uncertainty about the appropriate sterilization parameter, and 2. the absence of safeguards preventing them from selecting the wrong parameter
Project kick-offs may seem simple but they are critical. They ensure all teams know their roles, responsibilities, and steps, setting a collaborative tone for the go-live journey.
Leveraging the Sonar Quality module empowers you to pinpoint and collaboratively enhance any problem areas before regulatory bodies like the Joint Commission arrive onsite!
