Why Sterile Processing Matters
Sterile Processing is the frontline defense in surgical safety. When sterilization falls short, the consequences are severe, ranging from surgical site infections (SSIs) and costly delays to surgeon dissatisfaction and compromised patient outcomes. These failures not only endanger lives but also damage a hospital’s reputation. As the backbone of perioperative care, a high-functioning Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is essential to maintaining safety, efficiency, and trust in every procedure.
Why Sterile Processing Matters
1/ Patient OutcomesPatient Outcomes
- Every missed step in Sterile Processing puts patients and your reputation at risk.
- Unplanned return surgeries increase cost and liability.
- 1 in 17 patients who contract Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) will die as a result.
Surgeon Satisfaction
- Surgeon dissatisfaction leads to revenue erosion and physician loss.
- Instrumentation issues are a leading cause of surgeon dissatisfaction, prompting some to shift cases to better-equipped facilities.
- SPD performance is a top concern for surgeons.
Financial Considerations
- Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) cost hospitals $20,000–$40,000 per case.
- Unplanned returns to the OR can increase costs by up to $159,000 per case.
- Delays in the OR due to SPD issues can result in millions of lost revenue annually.

We have noticed a significant difference in our SPD services since getting Moab’s help.
