  Please join us for the next session in a series of webinars to discuss sustainability topics that affect the healthcare industry. The State of Colorado requires all facilities over 50,000 SF to meet energy use intensity and GHG emission reduction targets by 2030. Our webinar series explores various technical approaches that hospitals can take to save energy and GHG emissions. This month’s session will discuss strategies around renewable energy systems.

  The presenters will discuss how renewable energy systems can be incorporated into healthcare facilities to reduce overall emissions. We will discuss the following learning objectives:

  1. Explore why healthcare facilities should consider deploying renewable energy systems.
  2. Understand different applications of renewable energy systems, including on-site and off-site systems.
  3. Discover the typical challenges of interconnecting renewable energy systems to existing electrical systems.
  4. Discuss the typical financial approaches for procuring renewable energy systems, including incorporating tax credits to make implementation more affordable, even for tax exempt organizations.
  5. Investigate the feasibility of implementing renewable energy systems on a facility type through a case study example.

  This is free for members and $50 for non-members.

• Are You Aligned with ANSI/AAMI ST108?— What You Need to Know About Water Management for Sterile Processing

  • When

  Description:

  Published in the Fall 2023, ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 provides new and updated guidance on managing water quality in sterile processing— placing particular emphasis on a multidisciplinary team, risk management, and revised water quality specifications that adds steam alongside critical and utility water. Surgeries, the key revenue generation of any hospital, rely on safe and efficient sterile processing operations to cycle instrumentation effectively. Sterile processing departments, in turn, rely on water for almost every step: utility water for rinsing, critical water for high-purity washing, and steam for sterilization. With many groups (such as sterile processing, facilities management, infection prevention, clinical/biomedical engineering, and equipment vendors) involved, it is essential to have a defined program for managing these water systems to know what your team needs to do proactively with a data-driven mindset to avoid unnecessary and potentially costly changes to your operations.
  

  
  

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the importance of managing water in sterile processing
  

  2. Review the updated guidance of ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 for sterile processing
  

  3. Assess water usage, water treatment equipment and how to identify necessary controls, control ranges and monitoring.
  

  4. Evaluate The proper locations and frequency of validating the performance of your water management program.
