Webinar: Who’s Cleaning Medical Equipment? The Answer Affects Patient Flow, August 13

Ambiguous responsibilities for cleaning and equipment handling are costing hospitals more than time. They’re risking compliance, delaying care and compromising safety.

In this session, infection prevention and operations experts break down how instructions for use (IFU) misalignment across healthcare teams drives infection risk and patient delays – and what leading systems are doing instead.

You’ll hear real-world insights on how centralized service models can reduce confusion, drive throughput and keep hospitals survey ready.

Key Takeaways:

• How IFU uncertainty leads to delayed care and equipment downtime,
• Why shared responsibility models fail – and how centralizing can improve throughput, and
• How to protect uptime, safety and staff satisfaction with clear ownership of disinfection and storage.

Webinar: Robotic Surgery as a Safety-net Advantage at Cook County Health, August 11

For many hospitals, every investment faces the same scrutiny: Does it expand access, improve outcomes, and keep the bottom line intact?

For Cook County Health, saying yes to robotic-assisted surgery did all three.

On August 11, join two leaders who built the program from the ground up and see how minimally invasive care became a catalyst for mission and margin alike. Speakers will share how Cook County Health launched and scaled a robotic surgery program while navigating limited capital, workforce training gaps and implementation barriers.

Whether you are evaluating the acquisition of your first robotic system or trying to accelerate growth, this session will challenge assumptions, share hard-won lessons, and show what’s possible when mission and business strategy align.

Learnings Include:

• Evaluating minimally invasive surgery as a health equity initiative for underserved populations,
• Leveraging data to build a financially sustainable business plan to expand 24/7 robotic surgery access, and
• Key to overcoming barriers to programmatic expansion – from lack of buy-in belief to resource constraints.
