Sterile Processing in Healthcare Facilities Preparing for Accreditation Surveys, 3rd Edition

This book provides valuable tools for preparing for accreditation surveys and maintaining compliance with accreditation requirements as they relate to sterile processing. New to this third edition are best-practice audit tools for immediate-use steam sterilization (IUSS) and high-level disinfection (HLD), and an instrument integrity checklist. It has also been updated to reflect the 2017 revision of ANSI/AAMI ST79 and current TJC accreditation standards related to sterile processing. TJC's new SAFER matrix scoring methodology is also discussed.
