The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) approved Detroit Medical Center correction plan in response to findings of deficiencies in its central sterile and infection control processes, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
LARA found a lack of a "robust, consistent, repeatable, comprehensively documented and well-maintained training system" for employees in the department, among other issues.
The correction plan includes using a perioperative improvement council and task force to oversee improvement actions.
Training policies will be updated and enhanced for some staff members.
