CHL (CHL) Practice Tests & Test Prep by Exam Edge

What is on the CHL Certification Exam: Detailed Breakdown.

The CHL certification exam (Certified Healthcare Leader) is meant to recognize Sterile Processing professionals who show leadership skills in their field. Administered by the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management (IAHCSMM), the exam highlights several key areas in which Sterile Processing leaders should show competency. These include customer relations, record maintenance, sterile storage, inventory management, knowledge of the sterilization process, patient care equipment, preparation and packaging, and techniques for cleaning, decontaminating, and disinfecting equipment.

To get CHL certification, you must first be a Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST). However, CHLs go above and beyond the knowledge of a CRCST — learning people and inventory management skills as well as crucial procedures for sterilizing and decontaminating healthcare equipment.
