Spotlight on Special Treatment in Sterile Processing: What It Is and What It’s Not
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch examines the difference between “special treatment” and “different treatment” — “There is a common assumption in the industry that every member of the sterile processing team must be dealt with in the exact same way or else it’s not fair. While equal treatment is good when it comes to things like approving PTO requests and holding staff accountable to department policies, it can be counterproductive in a number of other important scenarios.”

Specialization on Steroids: Creating & Paying for Real Expertise in Sterile Processing
In this episode of Articles On-The-Go, Hank Balch considers an unconventional approach to staff competency — “We put a premium on cross-training, while paying lip service (and low rates) for any type of true specialization in our field. Technicians who may be great at reading preference cards and picking case carts are rated as mediocre because they struggle to keep up with the various documentation points required during the sterilization phase. But what if we approached this from a different angle?”
