  • 1.  Instrument Processing/Sterilization Facility Design Guideline for Hospitals

    Posted 02-14-2019 01:07 PM
    Hello,

    We are working on a facility design guideline for Instrument Processing internally, with internal architects, engineers, infection prevention specialists, OR staff, central sterile processing leadership, etc.

    We are seeking assistance; someone who is well-versed in the AAMI standards, the FGI Guidelines for Instrument Processing, and Central Sterile Reprocessing facility design.

    Any leads would be greatly appreciated!  Please email me at hglewis@umich.edu.

    ​The VA TIL (Technical Information Library) has great design guidelines for most healthcare departments to use as a reference.
