CENTRAL STERILE PROCESSING DEPARTMENT

 

LOCATION: CHERRY HILL, NJ

CLIENT: JEFFERSON HEALTH

MARKET SECTOR: HEALTHCARE

SIZE: 3,150 SF



THE OPPORTUNITY

Jefferson Health wanted to expand the capabilities of its Sterile Processing Department. The expansion also included modernizing the facility by replacing equipment, improving throughput and flow, accommodate a more significant workload, and adopt a case cart system.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge for this project was ensuring each space: Decontamination, Washing / Disinfection, and Prep & Pack, and Sterilization were fully functional during the construction phases.

THE PS&S SOLUTION

The new Central Sterile Processing Department performs as a twin-compartment. Gross Decontamination process, Washing / Disinfection, and Prep & Pack occur separately from the Sterilization area & Sterile Cart Storage compartment. The project doubles the former Department area and increases the processing volumes.
