Managing a CSSD: A Personal Perspective
As the manager of this department, it is important to support the staff no matter what the situation is because they are not always acknowledged by some hospital managers for the hard work and technical skill that is needed to do their duties. This is a fact. They are seen as the persons cleaning the dirty, used surgical instruments. Very few staff in the hospitals where the author has worked for more than forty years are familiar with the function and importance of a CSSD.

Very informative
Losper pens an informative title in Managing a CSSD: A personal Perspective by Joan M. Losper. I haven't read work from this author before, and even though I had to really look up what CSSD is and what the department does, so I can be informed when I read this book, I learned a lot about something I didn't even think about before. This book gives a lot of information about Central Sterile Services Department. There are different divisions of the CSSD, which is a sterilization department, meaning the staff not only "cleans" the surgical instruments after use, but goes through a sterilization process. Doctors and Nurses, and other hospital staff could not do their work if this was not a process, and with the era of Covid-19, the staff that is CSSD is extra important. There are five major areas of the CSSD process, Decontamination, Assembly & Processing, Sterilizing, Sterile storage and Storage. Managing a CSSD: A personal Perspective is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews for those who need this information. I look forward to reading more titles by this author.
