First and foremost I am ALWAYS a sterile processing technician…. No matter what my role/title is within an organization, I am always a sterile processing technician. In my travels, my assignments are mostly in what I call broken SPD departments. What can I do about it as a traveler? Unfortunately, my responsibilities are limited to the assignment’s scope, usually being a technician on the floor working in the front lines of SPD. When I first started traveling I wanted to “change the world” so to say. I saw things that were wrong and I wanted to talk to the leadership about all of my good ideas! I quickly discovered that it’s almost never well received and I needed to reflect on this. I have learned that the biggest impact I can make is not in my words and opinions, but rather in my actions, and my behavior. The smallest things can make a difference…something as small as showing up to work ON TIME, EVERYDAY. Putting out top quality product, and having a positive attitude no matter what. Your actions and behavior can change the energy in the room. The biggest impact that I can make is to set an example. It always makes my day when a technician is observant of my work or my attitude that they feel comfortable to ask me questions or talk to me about a problem because I remain approachable, and open. This is how I make a difference, and an impact. It’s “the little things” that are not so little that make a big difference! #sterileprocessing #growth #attitudeiseverything #rolemodels

When you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, sterile processing technician isn’t on the list… The photo below was about a year into my sterile processing journey. I didn’t have passion for the industry. I had no idea what an amazing community we have. My passion began after years of working in this field, and after I started to travel. My heart grew for sterile processing when I could finally see from a larger view the challenges, and also the heart of the people within the basements of the healthcare facilities I showed up in to help. Characteristics I had as a person and employee before I had passion for sterile processing: ??strong work ethic ??curiosity and a want to learn ??grit ??empathy/sympathy ??problem solving skills These are the characteristics that carried me through my journey when I was still early in what I had no idea was going to end up being my career. I know without a doubt that I am meant to be a sterile processing technician, and I am so proud of that. I know I can help promote positivity and change within our field and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do so. Let’s get a handle on these challenges within our control together: ??Workplace culture ??Leadership ??Education ??Training If you’re new to sterile processing, welcome!

Change and innovation will always bring about a bit of CONTROVERSY…. With change and innovation will come ??The skeptics ??Those that don’t want to let go of old ideas/bad habits ??Resistance Not everyone is going to clap for you, when you get brave enough and vulnerable enough to bare all your great ideas to the world. What do I say? SHARE THEM ANYWAY. As I have stated before Healthcare is progressive, not primitive. Change and innovation also bring ??Enlightenment ??Evolution ??Efficiency ??Improvements Let’s evolve together. We don’t have to accept the risks that can come with the inspection of cannated devices in sterile processing.

What Is a Pharmacy Technician and What Do They Do?

Necessary Evils.. We must inspect cannulated instruments on the clean side of sterile processing to verify that the cleaning and decontamination process was effective. Tools we use: ??Flush inspection ??Channel check verification ??Borescopes ??Other inspection implements We have grown to accept that we may discover the cleaning and decontamination process was ineffective. This leads to contamination of our workstations and potentially ourselves when we are in an environment where we are least protected by PPE. Healthcare is progressive, so it is important that we are always evolving and innovating as we move forward. The Barrier Buddy System is designed by a sterile processing technician, for sterile processing technicians. We don’t have to accept this risk anymore. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, but we do need to find ways to improve our processes! #sterileprocessing #employeesafety #infectionprevention #crosscontamination #innovation #patientsafety #processimprovement #quality
