These days it's incredibly important to understand how your organization compares to others. Are there ways to become more efficient? Are costs in line with those at other similar facilities? Developed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and IAHCSMM, this easy-to-use benchmarking platform lets you enter your information, then compare yourself to other organizations. Use the results to better understand your strengths, shine a light on areas for improvement, and provide data to your colleagues or supervisors.
Join two of AAMI's sterilization experts, Donna Swensen and Damien Berg, for an online demo on Sept. 18, 2014 at 1 p.m. ET. They'll show you how "Benchmarking Solutions – Sterile Processing" works, why they recommend it for your sterile processing department, and answer your questions.
