SPD SERVICES BY SPECIALTYCARE
SpecialtyCare brings the expertise to transform your SPD into a safe, highly efficient, and effective surgical service delivery area. Sterile processing is a mission critical function in every facility that provides surgical services. SPD’s primary functions are to ensure that instruments are available, functional, and safe for use with every patient. SPD production is dependent upon the complement of staff, their proficiency, and efficiency at which they work, plus the equipment supplied to do the work. Gaps in any of these variables leads to expensive surgical delays, staff frustrations, and the potential for patient harm.

INSTRUMENT OPTIMIZATION
Published studies document that 70-80% of the instruments in commonly opened instrument sets are not used for a given case. The processing, repair, and replacement of these instruments cost hospitals hundreds of thousand dollars annually. Additionally, time spent by your OR and SPD staff handling these unnecessary instruments is a waste and decreases your SPD’s and OR efficiency.
