From Manual Searches to Real-Time Tracking: How Stillwater Medical Center Strengthens Operations and Loaner Management with CensiTrac

 

At the Stillwater Medical Center in Oklahoma, Lead Central Sterile Technician Sydney McWaters and Certified Sterilization Technician Trey Sneed have experienced firsthand how CensiTrac, the surgical instrument and asset management solution from Censis, has transformed daily operations and helped their team adapt to change with confidence.

Recently, the department implemented location scanning through CensiTrac—a change that significantly improved turnaround times and made it easier to locate sets when they’re needed most. What was once a manual, time-consuming search has now become a quick lookup process, thanks to precise scan-to-location tracking.

In addition to scanning, the team has embraced CensiTrac’s loaner tray tracking and photo documentation features, allowing them to confirm instrument completeness and respond to discrepancies with clarity and confidence. This has proven especially useful when coordinating with external vendors or surgical teams.

Both McWaters and Sneed emphasize how approachable and responsive the Censis support team has been throughout their journey. As their department continues to evolve, CensiTrac remains a reliable, user-friendly foundation for improving accuracy, training, and efficiency.
