Quality patient care and positive outcomes: It all starts with the CSSD.

Before a surgeon can make that initial incision, a team of skilled Central Sterile Supply Department professionals has worked diligently to ensure that each and every instrument is properly decontaminated, sterilized, well-functioning, and available when needed.

The critical role CSSD plays in the delivery of safe, top quality patient care is the theme of IAHCSMM’s new video, Central Sterile Supply Department: It All Starts Here.
