Abstract

The Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) is the backbone of modern healthcare systems, ensuring sterile, functional, and ready-to-use medical instruments for patient care. This study provides an in-depth analysis of CSSD operations, focusing on workflow, operational challenges, and innovative advancements in sterilization technologies and processes. By presenting case studies, cost-benefit analyses, and statistical data, this paper highlights the significance of CSSD efficiency in improving patient outcomes, reducing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), and optimizing resource allocation.
