Tentative/Sample Statement of Work:

Sterile Processing Inventory and Workflow Management Solution

Overview:

Tracking enhances the ability of VA to ensure patient and staff safety by providing reasonable assurance that instruments have been processed in accordance with regulatory guidelines and individual instrument manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFU) for reusable medical equipment (RME) and dental/medical-surgical instrumentation.

Objective The Sterile Processing Inventory and Workflow Management Solution shall establish a solid foundation of enterprise-wide compliance with generally accepted recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Association of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), The Joint Commission (TJC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM), Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), and applicable VA Directives and Handbooks.

Section 1:

1.1 SCOPE

The Sterile Processing Inventory and Workflow Management Solution shall record the location, time stamp, and the status of a device/instrument/surgical container (set), etc. as it goes through the Sterile Processing System (SPS) reprocessing workflow. Locations to be scanned include, but may not be limited to Decontamination, Assembly and Preparation, Sterilization, Quality Assurance (QA), and Storage areas. Within these locations, there will be at least one scan point where work instructions are needed, a work step needs to be recorded, and/or a location update is required. Facility processes, number of stations, physical layout, and the complexity of the workflow in a facility may increase the number of scan points in each area.

This is a renewal subscription for FY20. In addition to this renewal, Censis will provide a cloud server. We also included additional subscription service - Clinical assessment Based On-Site Visit. Censis will come to Perry Point and Baltimore to assess SPS functionality with the Censis software. They will provide additional training based on their assessment.
