Penn Medicine, Intervention Support Center
In order to find new solutions to improve efficiency and quality, Penn Medicine envisioned a new remote intervention support center (ISC) as an integrated facility to support multiple facilities throughout the Philadelphia area. ISC focuses on the disinfection of surgical instruments, the disinfection of bed sheets, and the storage of surgical supplies and soft products. ISC’s service integration will standardize instrument handling, instrument kits, and software products across the entire health system. ISC will allow storage space to expand the inventory of supplies on hand. Box trucks will enter and exit the ISC from various facilities of temperature-controlled trucks in accordance with the prescribed timetable to improve efficiency.
