Department assessment and gap analysis
Every area walked, every question answered against the standard. Scored, cited, prioritized.
Sterile processing · survey readiness
We find what surveyors find — before they do.
FIND assesses hospital and ASC sterile processing departments against AAMI ST79 and Joint Commission standards, then delivers a scored readiness report with a corrective action plan your team can run.

01 · The problem
Surveys find SPD gaps late — when the fix is expensive.
A missing eyewash station, an unverified sterilizer load, a tray wrapped in the wrong room. Each is a small finding on a surveyor's clipboard and a large one on a corrective action timeline you did not choose.
Most outside reviews stop at the list. They tell you what is wrong, not who fixes it, in what order, or how you will know it stayed fixed. FIND's report ends with a plan.
55%
of condition-level survey findings stem from sterilization or high-level disinfection errors.
02 · Services
Four ways we work with a department.
All services02
Joint Commission compliance and readiness
Mock tracer, documentation review and a 30/60/90-day plan timed to your survey window.
03
Staffing quality and performance support
Competency, certification and shift coverage reviewed with the people doing the work.
04
Floor-plan, reconstruction and workflow design
One-way dirty-to-clean layouts, ICRA 2.0 precaution planning and FGI-informed renovation review.
03 · How it works
From walk-through to reassessment.
Step 1
On-site walk-through
One to two days in your department, every area, with the technicians on shift.
Step 2
Scored readiness dashboard
Every question answered in one of four states, rolled up by area and overall.
Step 3
30/60/90-day action plan
Each gap with the standard, the fix, an owner and a due window.
Step 4
Follow-up reassessment
We return, re-score, and sign off what closed. Open items carry forward.

05 · What sets FIND apart
Experience
Technician to clinical director
We have run the sinks, the sterilizers and the department. We know where findings hide because we have fixed them.
Audience
Written for the floor and the boardroom
Recommendations the people doing the work can follow, and the leaders accountable for it can fund.
Method
Compliance tied to how work happens
Findings connect to workflow, ergonomics, staffing and implementation — not a checkbox in isolation.
Specialty
Orthopedic and ophthalmology services
Loaner trays, lumened instruments and microsurgical sets each bring their own survey risk. We have processed them.
