are integrated will help enhance the care delivery experience. Workstations should be intuitive for the user, sup- port the deployment of technology at the point of care, and properly support the provider-patient interaction and the clinical workflow. Integration of technol- ogy – and as a result, proper diagnostic readings – are important for improving patient outcomes. Without proper plan- ning and the right equipment, integra- tion of technologies such as EMRs and tablets could negatively impact the overall efficiency of the care process.” DSI’s Loper concentrates on “optional accessories” for stationary workstations as notable design and development improvements, including iPad holders, enhanced light and light features of illu- mination for inspection of perforations in sterile wrap materials, elaborate self- balancing shade LED Luxo magnifiers, ergonomic quick-adjust for standing or sitting applications, magnification lighting and specialized storage bins for peel packs as examples of upgrades to a standard workstation line.


But the current COVID-19 pandemic should motivate additional design changes that may include surface features.

“With infection prevention and steril- ity as the priority, 10 years from now I would assume every workstation within an SPD will be entirely stainless-steel except for the desired accessories,” Loper envisioned. “There might be some small incremental upgrades to the bells and whistles attached to the workstation but the movement going forward will continue to be towards all stainless-steel materials to help increase sterility within the department.”


Hänel’s Phillips acknowledges that pro- viders and suppliers can learn valuable lessons from the pandemic – one of which may involve more automation. “One improvement to stationary work- station design should be that they’re easily disinfected,” he said. “If COVID- 19 has taught us anything, it’s the need to clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched. In storage areas containing a myriad of shelves, those shelves are touched on a regular basis, presenting a greater chance of exposure to pathogens, and therefore a greater risk to health. Efforts to contain potential dis- ease transmission on so many high-touch surfaces could be better done by decreas- ing human exposure to these surfaces. Automated vertical carousels feature a single stainless steel worktable that is easy to clean and disinfect, rather than multiple surfaces that are more difficult to address. Cleaning can be done as often as possible, and chemical disinfectants never come into contact with the sterile supplies stored within the carousel.” HPN
