This is the fifth and last webinar dedicated to the “Efficiency in Medical Devices reprocessing: the road ahead”, presented by ASP Continuous Education.​

25^th January 2024

"Each day, millions of invasive procedures take place and millions of reusable medical devices are reprocessed throughout the World. Reprocessing is a complex process with several steps and different players that requires efficient technologies, proficient human resources and good health technology assessments. Increasing efficiency in healthcare contributes to their economic sustainability, competitiveness, while reducing environmental damage and lastly improving quality of care and quality of life."

• Optimization of MD reprocessing through training and increase in awareness among all healthcare workers is the main goal of the upcoming future;
• The awareness of results enhancement, is the lever and the fulcrum of the continuous improvement;
• Collecting and analyzing data is an essential part of identifying inefficient processes, detecting necessary changes to keep your efficiency or point out possibilities to increase efficiency;
• AI,Automation, Robots, RFID: new technologies are becoming more available for the CSSD processes.  They allow reducinghuman error, increasing quality and efficiency. Make sure they are in balance with the economical reality;
• Reprocessing efficiency depends of effective management of productive assets (staffing, planning, equipment, instruments). HTA is a valuable tool in addressing MD reprocessing.
