When key people leave, so does their knowledge. Most 3PLs and healthcare providers rely on experienced technicians who “just know” how to inspect and validate trays. It’s industry tribal knowledge—built over the years, passed through word of mouth, and rarely documented. But what happens when Sally, the ortho tray expert, takes a vacation? Or when Jim, the spine tray specialist, moves to another job? Productivity takes a hit. Work slows down. Mistakes creep in. Scalpel eliminates this bottleneck. With AI-powered tray validation, Scalpel ensures: ✅ Every technician instantly knows how to inspect any tray in front of them. ✅ Tray-specific SOPs are surfaced in real-time—no guesswork, no searching. ✅ More focus on what actually matters: instrument quality, damage checks, and efficiency. No drop in productivity. No last-minute scrambling. No over-dependence on a handful of specialists. With Scalpel, every technician is an expert—on every tray, every time. It isn’t just about technology—it’s about making life easier for people who are doing hard work every day. How does your team handle knowledge gaps when key people are out? #SurgicalLogistics #HealthTech #Efficiency #AIInHealthcare

Starting a Career with less than a 4-year degree... This situation happens for many reasons; regardless, get into the job market and find a position that meets your field of interest. I began as a Technician, (1 of 8 Specialists) we were all "2 year degree technicians", but WE got the special, factory, design level training on how the latest, groundbreaking equipment was being designed, and, we got to install it and make it work......and fix it when it didn't. It was a time (in the 70s) when the transistor was the current "high tech" element.........the forerunner of the op-amp, and integrated circuit; my advantage, I was a hands-on guy, I was the guy who could fix most anything; usually, a loose wire was the problem in the 70's; in other cases, the output transistor on any amplifier circuit was the problem..........my career went from there, all the way to being Project Manager, of a Team of Field Service Engineers...monitoring and coaching customer labor forces to do what they do best, build, assemble, and test, and operate; it has been an exciting life style and career path.....my advice to you, dive it, and "get-ur Done!". You only have 40 years to mature, grow, and contribute to a successful, Team Spirited, leader of men, Do Your Job, let your crew do theirs!! #getstarted

Every clinical engineering department works slightly differently. Device flows are different, repair, servicing and other task prioritisation also varies based on our individual client base, working practices and procedures. In our case and in basic terms, our flow is devices in, moved through our equipment processing room, checked in, cleaned further if needed and booked into associated teams incoming. Then worked on and returned. Turn around time and job length measured. Just today we have a working “next job picker” from concept to working within our eQuip database to aid our staff deliver whatever priority need needs expediting. Prioritising workload based on individual technician experience, associate technians with experience, whether risk based or ppm, repair, location, model or any other Trust discernable need can now be visualised, reviewed and understood. To maintain our Trusts devices, available at point of need is key. To ensure our systems flex to help us deliver is where we are.

I love the topic of "extras", "backup", "replacement" surgical instruments. It's one of the many areas of MASSIVE opportunity and high-value impact for improving the average #SterileProcessing department out there. And yet, so few folks seem to recognize the challenges involved in fixing it, and the myriads of ripples that flow out from the fix(es) themselves. 🚨 It's not just a "data" problem, although data is definitely involved. 🚨 It's not just a "real estate" problem, although precious limited space is required. 🚨 It's not just an "inventory management" problem, although there's major gaps there. 🚨 It's not just a "standardization" problem, although that's a key indicator for success. 🚨 It's not just a "people" problem, although it requires many different people to work. 🚨 It's not just a "regulatory" problem, although we do need more clarity there. 🚨 It's not just a "product" problem, although there's opportunity here for sure. Solving the industry's backup instrument storage issues is a beast of a problem with many heads, all of which need to be cut off at the root for the beast to be tamed. How do you know if you have a problem with your replacement instrument storage area? 😭 Do your trays make it to the OR missing instruments? 😭 Do your trays make it to the OR with incorrect substitute instruments? 😭 Do your technicians hate looking for replacements instruments? 😭 Does it take your team more than 2 seconds to find a correct replacement? 😭 Do instruments regularly get "lost" in SPD? 😭 Do extras end up in piles scattered around the assembly area and tables? 😭 Would you struggle to give someone a quick inventory of what's in backup storage? If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, your storage situation is a likely culprit. Feel free to DM me here or email at Hank@healthcarehqmedia.com if you'd like to chat more about it. Do you have any other inventory storage best practices to share? I'd love to hear them! 👇 #BeyondClean #SterileProcessing #SurgicalInstruments

I worked as a Medical Laboratory Technician for over ten years early in my career. I had the privilege of working alongside some of the nicest, smartest people I've ever met (and still keep in touch with!), and there was always one unifying frustration amongst us anytime we got a new piece of instrumentation: "Who the heck designed this thing?!?!?". It was very clear to us that a Lab Tech was not included in the design process, as many times routine tasks like changing out a reagent or emptying waste was cumbersome and time consuming. A small tweak here or there could have saved time for the end user if it had been considered during the design process. My previous role was focused on procedure and process development, and continuous improvement of in-use methods. While managing multiple projects where new procedures are created and old ones are streamlined, my intent is to always create the best possible process for the end user while ensuring all stakeholder's needs are considered. It's amazing how much buy-in you can get from a team when they are brought into the creation process, even when concessions have to be made to align with the needs of multiple stakeholders. What processes do you have in your organization that could use a refresh, and who are you going to for input? I hope that you will always start with the end-user in mind and capture their feedback during the process. They are the ones executing every day, and they know best any pain points that should be addressed!

Today i was working on a dental unit that uses Pneumatic system and a bit of electrical. Am glad to say that the integrated knowledge we possess as BMETs is out of this world especially that we are ever willing to learn new skills and acquire much more knowledge. Always love this Job because so many lives depend on the functionality of these medical devices. #Biomedical_Engineering #Clinical_Engineering.
