Opportunities for increasing patient care capacity at ambulatory surgery centers will grow through the use of dedicated off-site sterilization services that specialize in the complex sterile processing required by vendor owned total joint instrumentation.
Along side of this complexity is the ever increasing logistical challenge associated with the movement of these instrumentation systems as the OEMs try to gain efficiency with the growth in total joint volume and an increasing number of care sites used by patients and providers.
SPDx is committed to building the entire infrastructure needed to address this new market in self contained state of the art facilities. That infrastructure must include scalable areas for decontamination, clean assembly and sterile storage to meet the growing demand in individual markets and provide flexibility as new revenue opportunities for these facilities grow.
Seemingly mundane operations such as properly cleaning and disinfecting the transportation carts must be considered in the spaces to insure patient safety. These types of activities will require permanent floor space commitments and engineered processes to gain maximum efficiencies in the model.
The article below is another indicator that all are beginning to embrace this new outsourcing opportunity in healthcare.
