CE Providers & Professional Resources
Affiliate and Allied Healthcare Organizations
Sterile Processing (SP) professionals perform specific, detail-focused functions that play a critical role in the delivery of quality patient care and customer service. HSPA understands that fulfilling such an important role requires interdisciplinary teamwork with the Operating Room, Infection Control, Endoscopy, Nursing and other critical departments and disciplines. To help facilitate more effective partnerships, and promote information–sharing and inter-professional education, HSPA has solidified valuable partnerships with affiliate and allied healthcare organizations and educational groups. These partnerships ensure that SP professionals are kept informed of the latest news, standards and practices pertaining to the discipline.
