The Data of Automation & Robotics in Sterile Processing (7.11.22)

(Welcome to our Linkedin newsletter, where we'll be featuring voices, stories, and content from some of the #SterileProcessing industry's brightest minds and frontline clinical innovators)

[Watch this exclusive interview here] When conversations of automation and robotics come up in medical device reprocessing, they can elicit a wide variety of responses. Sometimes it's the fear of the impact automation may have on technician job security. Other times there are questions related to the true efficiency, quality, and speed promised by some of these technologies ("Is this really possible?"). Then there are those early adopters in the industry who already see the way forward, and believe there are tremendous opportunities automation offer to improving the Sterile Processing mission to provide safe surgical instruments, every case, every time.

Wherever you sit on that spectrum of comfort with robotic & automated technology, there is no debating the growing number of innovators out there who are committing their time & teams to learning about the challenges faced by frontline Sterile Processing technicians in order to leverage technology to solve them. In this exclusive interview with Yeshwanth Pulijala during the "Workers or Widgets: Sterile Processing Symposium on Robotics & Automation" event, we discuss the impact that data has on establishing the value of these technologies.

Today's resources will highlight additional content in the themes of data, automation, and technology. Hope you enjoy!
