Healthcare facilities face several critical challenges regarding the management of surgical instruments:
1. Instrument Mismanagement: Efficiently tracking and managing surgical instruments is a common issue, leading to frequent misplacement, increased operational costs, and potential delays in surgical procedures.
2. Compliance with Regulations: Adhering to the constantly evolving laws and regulations regarding the safety and traceability of surgical instruments is a persistent challenge, requiring robust systems for accurate tracking and documentation.
3. Operational Inefficiencies: Operational inefficiencies in the OR and CSSD can result in significant delays, increased costs, and reduced productivity among healthcare staff, ultimately impacting patient care and facility performance.
