State-of-the-art
sterile processing
HSS places a premium on preventing bottlenecks
in the sterile processing department (SPD) and
puts significant effort into providing this critical
area of safe patient care with adequate space and
top-of-the-line washing and sterilizing equipment.
As Dr. Simovitch says, you can only run as
efficiently as your sterile processing department
can reprocess instruments.
Take five
Unlike many of the centers
Dr. Simovitch has been
affiliated with throughout
his career, HSS's staff
breakroom shares the same
oceanside view as the
lobby. That's prime real
estate dedicated to staff,
and it sends a message
about how much leadership
values the team, their hap-
piness and their comfort.
