This module focuses on the analysis of the actual cost of processing a wrapped instrument tray through the sterile processing department. Calculations for compromised wrap, reprocessing labor, etc. are presented. Ultimately these calculations can be used to reduce total cost within the department. Participants will learn how to perform a cost of processing study and use the information to determine if costs can be reduced in one or more of three ways: 1) tray expiration/reprocessing costs, 2) price or amount of consumables used and 3) tray processing labor time optimization.
