SUMMARY : Recognizes and declares the week of September 18
through 24, 2011, as National Surgical Technologist Week in
California. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)Surgical technologists are responsible for the environmental
disinfection, safety, and efficiency of the operating room;
and, their knowledge and experience with aseptic surgical
technique qualifies them for a role of importance in the
surgical suite.
2)The key role that health care personnel can play by taking
specific steps to prevent surgical site infections has been
underscored by both the National Surgical Infection Prevention
Project and reported in The Joint Commission's 2007 Annual
Report on Quality and Safety.
3)The surgical technology profession has grown to meet the
continuing demand for well-educated, highly-skilled, and
versatile individuals to work with surgeons and other skilled
professionals to deliver the highest possible level of patient
care.
