![Page 3: Roel Castillo - The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse - STANDARD 3| Best Practice and Compliance: Commissioning a Sterile Processing Department for Improved Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/555718dcd8b42a274d8b552e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Challenge- Commission a Compliant SSD
Standard 3: Preventing and Controlling Healthcare Associated Infections
We have about 3 criteria that directly impacts on SSD:
• Governance and systems for infection prevention, control and surveillance
• Infection prevention and control strategies
• Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation
