This webinar — recorded on November 6, 2025 — is eligible for ACMPE and CEU credit.

In the face of newly recognized pathogens and well-known microorganisms becoming resistant to treatment modalities, there is growing pressure to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs). A key infection control practice for reducing the likelihood of an infection is proper processing of medical instruments.

This webinar takes a look at the two primary approaches for a strong sterile processing strategy: in-house vs. centralized instrument processing, and the benefits and challenges associated with both approaches. It also offers attendees best practices for ensuring the quality of their instrument processing regardless of the approach taken.

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

• Explain the important role instrument processing plays as part of an infection prevention program
• Apply the right design approach to ensure the quality of instrument processing and recognize the importance of standardizing the instrument processing area
• Identify how equipment manufacturers can be a valuable resource
