When Sterile Processing Goes Down: An Economic Analysis of Alternative Strategies for Supporting the Service
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 June 2017
Abstract
Given steam-quality challenges at our facility, the financial impact of options for reopening the sterile processing service unit were explored; duration of closure was the major driver of costs. Other potential negative effects of operating-room shutdowns include injury to facility reputation, loss of staff, loss of reimbursements, and harm to residency programs.
