Modelling an Intelligent System for Management of Central Sterilization Units

Abstract

Central Sterilization Units (MSU) in our country are insufficient in terms of planning, operation, management, infrastructure design and technological aspects. This negatively affects the work of health institutions and causes the spread of hospital infections threatening public health. A business plan to be adopted throughout the country is standardized by supporting the operation processes of MSUs which have an important place in terms of the health of the health institutions in our work in terms of community health, with the technological infrastructure. In this report, a smart system model is presented in order to improve the productivity of the business processes belonging to the Central Sterilization Unit of health institutions and to improve their performance. With the new process model unveiled, standardization is realized in the processes applied in the MSUs. In this direction, firstly the functioning of the MSU of a medium-sized health institution was examined, the causes of the inefficiency in the current operation were determined, and a new process modelling was carried out to improve the system. In the second stage of the project, the center's productivity and performance changes were measured if an information system was included in the operation of the MS. Business processes and writing processes are reconfigured in line with the outputs obtained and made suitable for the health institution. In addition, with the barcode-optical reader system added to the information system, the error-free and efficient operation of the system has been ensured by minimizing the user interaction in line with the internet principles of the objects.
