Abstract

PROBLEM: With increasing demands being placed on limited resources, hospitals are drastically cutting back or eliminating entirely funds for employee continuing education. Considering the advances in technology, the changing regulatory and legislative climates, and the growing need for expertise in handling DRGs and case mixes, more funds should be allocated for continuing education, not less. Agree: 87%, Disagree: 9%, No opinion: 3%.

A train of events?

What sort of relationship do you have with your Sterile Services Department? Do you know what goes on in that department? Do their staff know what goes on in your department? In making a strong case for recognised training in Sterile Services, Olivia and Frank Waller see an exchange of experiences between operating theatres and SSD as a valuable part of the learning process. Too often separate departments only contact each other when things go wrong. The authors quote a damning judgement from an enquiry following the death of five patients: a powerful reminder of the fact that perioperative care gives only one chance to get it right. Just because you work in theatre does not mean you can ignore or take for granted those departments on which you rely for supplies and services. Get involved, find out and understand what they can do for you and what you can do for them.
