It is more important now than ever to bring the knowledge and expertise of the entire health care team to the table when purchasing new systems, coordinating instrument availability with busy surgical schedules, and creating processes than are not only efficient and safe but evidence-based. This presentation will provide an informative and interactive session to identify roles and responsibilities of the heath care team, and to develop alliances with related subject matter experts to support optimal surgical outcomes, as well as discuss methods to use the team approach to move toward a lean OR/SPD.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe issues surrounding miscommunication between the OR, Sterile Processing (SPD), and other team members.
• Identify vital team members to support both departments.
• Discuss the role of collaboration to move perioperative services toward Lean management and standardization.
