VHA Directive 1116 establishes national policy and procedures for the proper reprocessing, sterilization, and oversight of critical and semi-critical reusable medical devices in VA medical facilities.

Purpose and Scope

VHA Directive 1116(2), issued on March 23, 2016, provides detailed procedures for decontamination, high-level disinfection (HLD), and sterilization of critical and semi-critical reusable medical instruments and equipment in VA facilities, ensuring patient safety and compliance with federal standards (VHA Directive 1116(2). The directive applies anywhere sterile processing or HLD occurs within VA medical facilities and establishes national standards for environmental controls, equipment standardization, and quality assurance

VHA Directive 1220 establishes the infrastructure and complexity requirements for VA medical facilities performing invasive procedures to ensure patient safety and appropriate facility capabilities.

Purpose and Scope

VHA Directive 1220, titled Facility Procedure Complexity Designation Requirements to Perform Invasive Procedures in Any Clinical Setting, sets policy and guidance for matching VA medical facility infrastructure to the complexity of invasive procedures performed. It defines the Invasive Procedure Complexity Model, which combines the Procedure Infrastructure Matrix (PIM) and the Invasive Procedure Complexity Matrix (IPCM) to assign complexity designations to procedures and ensure facilities have the necessary resources, personnel, and support services for safe care (VHA Directive 1220)
