Procedure Relationships: The Importance of IFUs, Guidelines, & Policies
Sterile Processing departments have a number of processes being performed at any given time. And while the practices seem to come second nature to the professionals, the instructions for use, guidelines, and policies are what guide them. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the relationship between these three vital contributors and how they ultimately shape how we contribute to patient safety outcomes.
