Sharps Management

At HealthOps, our Sharps Management Program is designed to ensure the safe, efficient, and compliant handling of medical sharps waste. This comprehensive approach helps hospitals reduce risks associated with sharps injuries, enhance operational efficiency, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Our Sharps Management program focuses on the auditing, collection and disposal management of vendors for medical-grade sharps waste. We provide a safe and sound logistical solution that includes oversight, management, and staffing for sharps waste collection. Our proprietary auditing software helps analyze trends and optimize the collection schedule, ensuring reliability and efficiency.

  • Enhanced Safety: Reduced risk of needle-stick injuries and exposure to sharps waste, protecting both staff and patients. Our proactive approach includes exchanging sharps at a frequency that exceeds the industry standard, to maximize safety and ensure that containers are never overfull.

  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlined logistics and optimized container replacement schedules minimize disruptions to daily activities. Our team ensures that collection schedules are tailored to each facility’s needs, ensuring reliability and efficiency in sharps waste management.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Though consistent container auditing and tracking, our processes ensure adherence to OSHA and other relevant guidelines, reducing the risk of regulatory violations. We work closely with hospitals to follow their policies and procedures, as well as local medical waste disposal guidelines.

  • Data-Driven Insights: Continuous analysis of the sharps waste process through our proprietary software and client dashboard helps identify areas for improvement and optimize operations. This enables hospitals to refine their waste management strategies over time.

  • Cost-Effective Solutions: Our approach can lead to long-term cost savings by optimizing waste management processes, reducing injuries, and reducing unnecessary waste disposal costs.
