Benefits of Using SPB

Includes over 130 benchmarking metrics. Measure your:

• Practices & policies

• Financial metrics

• Personnel needs

• Developed by leading sterilization and software experts

• Annually reviewed by a joint AAMI and IAHCSMM task force – last year we added a new section on IUSS, this year we are refining and revising the questions.



Compare yourself to “like” facilities (apples to apples)

• Type of hospital: urban, rural, etc

• Type of department: sterile processing, endoscopy, ambulatory service center, etc.

• Type of work load: orthopedics, trauma, robotics, etc



See how other facilities are dedicating their time/resources:

• Is your department cleaning pumps or ancillary equipment? Are you getting “credit” for that work?

• How many sterilizers, washers, sonics, etc do you have to help with processing - and how does that play into time and resources?



Get your department running as efficiently as possible:

• What time of day demands the most staff?

• How do your staffing metrics compare to other “like” hospitals? (Shift staffing, time staffing, demand staffing.) Can you make the case for hiring more staff?



Get useful data you can present to your management

• Number of sets or items you’re processing

• Level of set complexity

• Through put of items based on equipment you have

• Staff skill mix

• Staff training


What Makes SPB Unique?

• Other systems compare productivity data, but miss the quality data in SPB

• Other systems are not as comprehensive

• Developed by AAMI and IAHCSMM

• Enables comparisons of similar facilities at a global level

• Hands-on customer service

• Access to SMEs and community of benchmarking users


Leverage the Data to Improve Your Department

Quality improvement: set goals, establish a baseline and measure improvement

• Enter data and track over time

• Establish areas where improvement needed and where things are going well

• Re-enter data at specified intervals and compare to previous results



Need resources but aren’t sure how to ask?

• Provide benchmarking data to your administrators to support your case for more funding and smarter budgeting.


The Joint Commission

• TJC surveyors started training on ST79 in 2011.

• More knowledgeable of sterilization standards and practices

• Prepare for TJC with SPB

• Make action plans based on SPB to ensure compliance with standards
