Sterile Processing Optimization

A well-functioning Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is critical to maintaining on-time performance in the operating room (OR) and ensuring compliance with AORN and AAMI guidelines. If you’re uncertain whether your sterilization practices align with best practices, it may be time for a comprehensive quality audit.


End-to-End Sterile Processing Evaluation

Alpha Consulting Group, Inc. conducts in-depth reviews of your sterile processing continuum, ensuring standardized, efficient, and reproducible procedures in key areas such as:


   ▶ Decontamination and infection control

   ▶ Tray preparation, inventory, and assembly

   ▶ Loaner tray handling and special instrument procedures

   ▶ Sterilization protocols across all modalities

   ▶ Flash sterilization and its appropriate use

   ▶ Equipment maintenance for instruments, sterilizers, and container systems

   ▶ Handling of video and power equipment


Streamlining Case Cart Preparation

Efficient case cart preparation reduces delays and improves surgical readiness. We assess:


   ▶ Personnel roles and responsibilities in case cart assembly

   ▶ Processes ensuring the right supplies are available for every case

   ▶ Preference list management—who updates them and how often

   ▶ Standardization efforts to keep preference lists accurate and up to date


Our evaluation begins with scheduling workflows, ensuring supply chain efficiency from inventory management to cost control.


Improving OR & SPD Communication

Miscommunication between sterile processing and the OR can lead to delays, errors, and inefficiencies. We assess current communication methods and provide recommendations to improve coordination, responsiveness, and trust between departments.


Staff Development & Education

Competency and ongoing education are key to maintaining quality and compliance in sterile processing. We:


   ▶ Conduct educational needs assessments

   ▶ Assist in job role refinement and training program development

   ▶ Provide strategies for continuous staff development


Take the Next Step

Ensure your sterile processing operations support efficiency, compliance, and OR readiness.

Infection Prevention

Reducing Surgical Site Infections

We analyze every operational factor that impacts surgical site infections, from environmental controls to procedural techniques and staff practices. Our team provides targeted prevention strategies to minimize infection risks and ensure compliance with AORN and AAMI standards.


Ensuring Surgical Infection Prevention & Compliance

With evolving reimbursement policies for hospital-acquired infections, it is critical to take every precaution to prevent surgical site infections. While monitoring SCIP indicators is essential, numerous other factors can impact infection rates.


Perioperative Environment

   ▶ Are operating rooms and perioperative areas cleaned effectively?

   ▶ Are supplies and equipment stored and rotated properly?

   ▶ Do traffic patterns support infection prevention?

   ▶ Does the ventilation system provide the required air exchanges per hour?


Perioperative Technique

   ▶ Is staff adhering to AORN-recommended sterile techniques?

   ▶ Are patients prepped and draped correctly?

   ▶ Do team members demonstrate strong surgical conscience?

   ▶ Are anesthesia providers following proper infection control practices?


Sterilization Practices

   ▶ How many sterilization techniques are in use, and is staff trained in all of them?

   ▶ Are sterilization records consistently monitored for compliance?

   ▶ Is your facility following AMMI ST79 sterilization standards?

   ▶ Do you have enough instruments to avoid reliance on flash sterilization?

   ▶ How are contaminated instruments handled, transported, and reprocessed?


Surgical Infection Prevention Audit

If you are unsure about any of these areas, Alpha Consulting Group, Inc. offers an intensive audit to assess infection prevention practices. Our team of perioperative and sterile processing experts will:

   ▶ Review all policies and procedures

   ▶ Observe processes in the operating room and sterile processing areas

   ▶ Interview staff across perioperative departments

   ▶ Audit sterilization records for accuracy and compliance

   ▶ Assess staff competency and training documentation

   ▶ Deliver a detailed report with findings and actionable recommendations
