A sterile processing information system receives data from a hospital clinical system representing scheduled surgical procedures and identified hospital owned assets for the respective surgical procedures, and also receives third party asset data electronically in a parsable data format from the vendor inventory management system representing scheduled surgical procedures and the third party assets for the respective surgical procedure. The system manages the sterile processing of both hospital and third party assets, and in particular creates a count sheet with a barcode for each of the third party assets.
