The Roles that Make Us Great: Instrument Coordinators
About this episode
Are missing instruments causing chaos in your SPD? Are your count sheets looking more like a game of "Where's Waldo?" rather than an organized surgical tray? This week's episode is dedicated to the unsung heroes of our Sterile Processing departments -- Instrument Coordinators! Join hosts Hank Balch and Bobby Parker as they discuss the pivotal responsibilities that make Instrument Coordinators indispensable in maintaining the safety and integrity of our surgical instruments. From purchasing and repairs to loaners and tray configuration, learn how these inventory optimization masters standardize trays, empower technicians, and curb OR frustration through their dedication and instrumentation expertise. If you've ever wondered about the masterminds behind instrument trays, this episode is a must-listen!
