Outsourcing the Management of Reusable Medical Devices in a Chain-Wide Care Setting: Mixed Methods Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Managing reusable medical devices incurs substantial health care costs and complexity, particularly in integrated care settings. This complexity hampers care quality, safety, and costs. Studying logistical innovations within integrated care can provide insights to medical devices use among staff effectively.

Objective

This study aimed to establish the feasibility of a logistical intervention through outsourcing and a web portal. The goal was to provide insights into users' acceptability of the intervention, on whether the intervention was successfully implemented, and on the intervention's preliminary efficacy, thus benefiting practitioners and researchers.

Methods
