In today’s healthcare landscape, patient perceptions are shaped by more than the care they receive—they’re influenced by every process behind the scenes. 

The Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is a crucial element, playing a key role in infection prevention, compliance, and patient satisfaction. From preventing costly infections to maintaining compliance with stringent policies and regulations, SPD operations significantly impact a hospital’s reputation and financial health.
