Process THIS! Episode 147: Updating HSPA’s CHL Manual

To meet the needs of Sterile Processing (SP) professionals around the world, HSPA regularly updates its technical publications. In 2026, we are proud to present the fifth edition of our Sterile Processing Leadership Manual. The forthcoming edition intends to be a useful resource for any SP professional aiming to broaden their leadership knowledge. Many will also use it to study for HSPA’s Certified Healthcare Leader (CHL) exam, which is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). In episode 147, host Casey Czarnowski speaks with the HSPA team members who worked for more than a year on updating this text. The group explains the reasons behind and importance of revisions, reviews the various steps of a book update, and introduces the many people and partners involved in the process. They also discuss projects on the horizon as well as new advances in how HSPA delivers its educational resources. OUR GUESTS: Jon Wood, Director of Technical Publications, HSPA Emily H.
