    Old School vs New School: Is There an Instrument Tracking Generation?

    Season 25 of Beyond Clean will launch on July 1, 2024.  In the meantime, enjoy this throwback episode from Season 16 of Beyond Clean!
    With each new generation of Sterile Processing technician, the workforce gets more and more comfortable with technology, mobile applications, and software. But there's still a large percentage of our industry who remember the days before departments were so computerized, wired, and required. On this Episode 3 of Season 16 "Yes, We Scan!", we sit down with Angus Bruce, Beyond Clean Advisory Group member and CSS Director at Anne Arundel Medical Center to discuss how these different generational perspectives on technology impact how we staff, train, and lead our departments. Tune in for Angus' insights on where the old schoolers have it right and what the new schoolers can teach us about how scanning technology can help us focus more on the things that really matter. We hope you can join us for this timely discussion!
    Season 16 episodes are individually approved for 1 CE, so once you finish this interview, you can download your CE certificate immediately by passing the short quiz linked below each week.
