With the growing population of adults needing total joint replacements and complex spinal procedures, come greater challenges for hospitals to manage loaned and consigned surgical instrumentation. There are significant management and accounting issues when utilizing a third party as a source for instrument trays. Constraints exist because there are multiple parties involved in the process, each with competing priorities and goals.
This position paper dives into the importance of a formalized loaner tray process that comes with critical performance expectations. The document explains how meaningful data generated in the process when properly captured, reported, and analyzed will provide all levels within the healthcare organization an understanding of where the performance gaps may lie.
“It was a pleasure to work with Cory Nestman from HSS who brought tremendous domain expertise in surgical instrument management and sterile processing best practices,” said Nam D. Vo, CEO. “Cory along with Davi Schmidt and her customer direct experiences and thought leadership have addressed key areas of challenges and made solid recommendations on how to solve them.”
