Our team has been working diligently to make these improvements. This is a true example of our commitment to safety.” said Brightshores President and CEO Ann Ford.
“Brightshores MDRD processes thousands of instruments every week. Having updated technology such as our instrument tracking system, along with our new satellite reprocessing area in the operating room, ensures our team can continue providing exemplary reprocessing services," said Cara Singh, Director of Surgery, Women and Child Program. "This was a team effort to make this happen and we are thrilled to continue the good work our patients are accustomed to.”
