Site Assessments

“Prescription without Diagnosis is Malpractice”

Much like a doctor consulting a patient, our engineers have helped hundreds of sites achieve their goals. From replacing a washer to new construction, we have the design assist services and the experience to ensure a positive outcome. But this knowledge and value cannot be applied unless we learn more about YOU. Every CSSD is a unique complex system that must be studied and understood before recommendations can be made. This study is called a Site Assessment. It is a formal process whereby our engineers learn more about you and your CSSD through physical and virtual means. 

 

A site assessment is a virtual or on-site exploration into your process, demands and goals. This can take 1-2 days on-site for deep-dives or a few hours with a questionnaire. The questionnaire and on-site studies will focus on the following areas:

• Equipment throughput (capacities and cycle times)
• Incoming Demand (surgical volume, specialties, ancillary departments, etc.)
• Process times (manual steps such as pick-up/drop-off, decontamination, assembly, and inspection)
• Staffing (often overlooked, the staff is the heart of the CSSD, without staff the department cannot function)
