Does anyone have productivity benchmarks for

  1. decontam of sets/ FTE/shift
  2. Peel packing/FTE/shift

We at Durham Regional Hospital, a part of the the Duke University Medical System have just been asking the same question: "Where are the available benchmarks?"

Thanks to anyone who can answer

I would be interested in any data available that people may have relating to your questions.

In Australia we have a variety of systems that people may use to try and calculate the required FTE, (usually based on nursing models)but no one has come up with a universally applicable method for CSSD!

Jennifer Grainger and Sue Ison from NSW developed a system of weightings for instruments that relate to the difficulty of reprocessing of them in terms of resources and costs. However I am not certain whether this model has been used to calculate FTE.

Good luck with the research!
