Why the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center Relies on CensiTrac for Safer, Smarter Instrument Management

Brenda “Jan” Prudent, Sterile Processing Manager at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, has seen significant improvements in accountability, inventory management, and workflow efficiency since implementing CensiTrac, the leading cloud-based surgical instrument and asset management system from Censis.

Before adopting CensiTrac, her department used manual tracking methods that limited visibility and made it difficult to ensure consistency. Now, every stage of the process, from decontamination and assembly to sterilization and storage, is captured in real time, enabling the team to trace errors, maintain compliance, and reinforce best practices.

Prudent found the system especially valuable in analyzing tray utilization and productivity. With detailed reporting tools, the team can track how often trays are used and make data-driven decisions about whether new instruments are truly needed.

Today, CensiTrac plays a critical role in supporting safe, efficient, and well-informed sterile processing operations at the facility.
