Creating [Sterile Processing Department schedules](https://theculturechronicle.com/tips-for-an-efficient-sterile-processing-department.htm) that make the most of a staff’s time requires a complete understanding and visibility of the demands of a particular healthcare facility. And to gain that big picture, a department needs data and lots of it. Still, more than that, a Sterile Processing Department needs a platform solution that provides reporting in an innovative and actionable way.

What’s the next generation of technology available to make SPD scheduling demands less challenging?

[Tyler Kern](https://marketscale.com/tyler-kern), the host of [ConCensis](https://marketscale.com/shows/concensis/), came together with [Seamus Johnson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-johnson/?trk=public_profile_browsemap), Sr. Director of Application Development for Censis, [Jeff Long](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-long-a4762312b/), Network Director of Sterile Processing at St. Luke’s University Health Network, and [Cody Troutt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-%E2%80%9Ccody%E2%80%9D-troutt-mba-crcst-chl-cis-44264528/), Director of Central Sterile at Williamson Medical for a third, and final discussion on [Censis’](https://censis.com/) new [CensisAI2 Productivity](https://censis.com/solutions/ai2-productivity/) platform.

This third conversation with Kern, Johnson, Long, and Troutt includes the following:

- The importance of optimized SPD staff utilization
- Creating tray efficiencies through data analysis
- Advice for hospitals considering or evaluating the CensisAI2 tool

“You have to be able to demonstrate to them (the C-Suite) a return on investment,” Troutt said. “It doesn’t matter if you work for a for-profit or not-for-profit hospital. Your not-for-profit hospitals are not for a loss either.”
