Did you know that the oldest surgery center in the nation began operating in 1804?

The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is a patient survey consisting of 32 simple questions concerning all aspects of a hospital stay, from interactions with doctors and nurses to housekeeping, pain management, and more.

In recent years, improving patient experience scores such as HCAHPS has become a popular topic of conversation. Exceptional patient experience is directly tied to patient retention, reimbursement, and in some cases, clinical outcomes. Improving the HCAHPS score takes continuous…

As many as 145 million Americans have tattoos, with the number increasing each year. Now that businesses, including tattoo shops, have begun the reopening process, the efforts surrounding equipment sterilization and implementing and following the proper guidelines are at the top of everyone's mind. The majority of tattoo shops use autoclaves to sterilize their non-disposable equipment. Everything from body jewelry, pliers, tattoo guns, needles, and hoses can be placed in an autoclave to kill microorganisms before use. Along with additional disinfecting measures, autoclaves take the guesswork and uncertainty out of the sterilization process. An autoclave acts as a pressure chamber.…
