Empowering Accountability and Quality in Sterile Processing with CensiTrac

In today’s healthcare environments, the demand for precise tracking, accountability, and quality control in sterile processing departments has never been higher. As hospitals face increasing pressure to optimize workflows and ensure surgical instruments are accounted for, technology like CensisTrac is playing a pivotal role. By enabling real-time visibility and documentation, systems like these help transform how departments respond to issues and prove compliance with ever-stringent standards. The true power lies not only in the data captured but in how teams can use that data to self-correct, train, and continuously improve operations. Features such as quality feedback allow frontline staff to easily log defects, attach photos, and trigger follow-up actions—turning routine tracking into a proactive quality assurance strategy. This kind of integration doesn’t just enhance processes; it empowers people. To see how this vision comes to life, meet Amber VanRooyen, System Manager of Instrument Tracking Systems at M Health Fairview in Minneapolis, and hear how her team uses CensisTrac to elevate performance and accountability.
