Emergency/Weekend Staffing
Many SPDs face significant instrument tray backlogs at the end of the week. Our emergency Weekend Blitz™ staffing service helps alleviate this burden by providing rapid deployment of tray specialists with a goal of zero unprocessed trays on Monday morning.
Interim/Temporary Staffing
With extensive reliance on agency/contract labor to fill staffing and leadership voids, STERIS has significantly invested in providing a better alternative. Our SPD and Flexible Endoscopy specialists are Certified by Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) and/or Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA). They receive extensive support and training from our education, compliance, and quality assurance team to ensure they are up-to-date on the latest standards.
Long-Term Staffing
Many Customers are tired of the revolving doors in Sterile Processing and Flexible Endoscopy and are faced with extensive costs associated with managing turnover (recruiting, hiring, onboarding, education, etc.) To ensure continuity, stability, and consistent outcomes, STERIS can recruit and hire local specialists for long-term contracts.
