Preference cards have long been an operational tool. Increasingly, they're also being recognized as a valuable source of insight for improving consistency across surgical services.

A recent study published in JAMA Surgery explored how historical utilization data can be used to optimize preference cards based on what teams actually use during procedures. The findings demonstrate how data-informed preference card management can reduce unnecessary supplies while maintaining surgical readiness.

As surgical techniques evolve, new technologies are introduced, and teams continuously refine their workflows, preference cards naturally need to evolve alongside them. Keeping them current helps create greater consistency, supports smoother workflows, and reduces unnecessary waste, while respecting surgeon autonomy and clinical judgment.

At Incision, we believe this represents an important opportunity for perioperative teams. It's one of the reasons we're developing a new solution to help hospitals identify opportunities for supply standardization, share best practices, and reduce unnecessary supply costs, while keeping perioperative teams and clinical decision-making at the center.

We're curious to hear from perioperative leaders:
How does your organization keep preference cards up to date, and what has been the biggest challenge in maintaining them?

A 2026 study in a Saudi paediatric cardiac OR found baseline compliance for First Case On-Time Start (FCOTS) was just 50%, with communication gaps and preparation delays identified as key contributors. As hospitals across the Kingdom continue to advance their Vision 2030 goals, improving FCOTS is increasingly important, particularly as it is tracked through the Ministry of Health's Ada'a Performance Programme.

Preparation for the first case often involves multiple people, multiple systems, and surgeon-specific requirements that aren't always easy to access when they're needed.

Incision Assist helps teams prepare using the same source of truth. Surgeon preference cards, procedure setup guidance, equipment information, and team-specific workflows are available in one place before the patient enters the room.

When scrub nurses, circulating nurses, surgical technologists, and other surgical team members are working from the same information, preparation becomes more consistent, and the entire team is better equipped to start the day ready for the case ahead.

A recent article in Periop Leader highlights a challenge many sterile processing leaders know well: despite being essential to surgical services, SPD still lacks the standardized performance metrics that exist elsewhere in the perioperative ecosystem.

Most perioperative leaders can quickly identify the metrics used to evaluate OR performance. In sterile processing, however, there is still significant variation in what is measured, how it is measured, and how performance is defined. Questions around tray error rates, instrument turnaround times, staffing ratios, productivity, and capacity are often answered differently from one organization to the next, making meaningful benchmarking difficult.

The article rightly calls for greater alignment around meaningful metrics and stronger integration of sterile processing performance into organizational decision-making. As the industry moves in that direction, workforce sustainability should be part of the conversation.

Staffing shortages, onboarding demands, certification requirements, and retention challenges continue to place pressure on departments. Leaders need visibility not only into operational performance, but also into the factors that influence workforce sustainability. Understanding onboarding progress, competency development, certification pathways, and retention trends provides important context for assessing the long-term health of a department.

That's one of the reasons we built MySPD. The goal is not simply to deliver education, but to help organizations bring greater structure, consistency, and visibility to workforce development. By supporting onboarding, competency management, certification preparation, and ongoing professional growth, MySPD helps leaders better understand and support the workforce behind sterile processing performance.

As the industry works toward more standardized benchmarking, workforce sustainability should be part of the conversation alongside operational performance, quality, patient safety, and financial stewardship.

What metrics have been most valuable in demonstrating the impact of SPD within your organization?

Last week was a special one at Incision. Our US Management Team joined us in Amsterdam for a week of collaboration, creativity, and connection.

While we work together every day across continents, there is something special about being in the same room. Ideas come together more naturally, connections grow stronger, and time spent together reminds us that great teamwork starts with great relationships.

That energy carried throughout the week as we teamed up with Het Marketing Lab to capture new videos that bring the human side of our work to life. Together, we explored the people, stories, and moments behind Incision, and the healthcare professionals we support every day. Because while technology plays an important role, it's ultimately about helping people feel more confident, prepared, and supported in the work they do.

We wrapped up the week with our annual Summer Party, a perfect way to celebrate a week full of energy, teamwork, and memorable moments.

At Incision, we're proud of the technology we build, but we're even prouder of the people who make it possible.

We're excited to share more from the video shoot soon.

A recent Harvard Business Review article highlighted three characteristics of high-performing OR teams. The findings reinforced what perioperative professionals have long understood: exceptional performance depends on more than individual expertise. It depends on how teams work together.

The research found that team familiarity, thoughtful rotation of staff, and intentional team composition all influence performance. When these factors are intentionally designed rather than left to chance, performance tends to improve.

For perioperative leaders, the findings highlight the importance of continuity without creating silos. Team familiarity can improve performance, but long-term success also depends on ensuring knowledge and experience are shared across the broader perioperative team.

In the OR, outcomes depend on people working together seamlessly in moments that matter most. Teams that invest in preparation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration create the conditions for safer care, better coordination, and greater resilience.

Technology has an important role to play. But its greatest value comes when it strengthens the human connections that make high-performing teams possible.

What do you think is the biggest challenge to building and sustaining high-performing perioperative teams today?

Press Ganey's newly released State of Nursing 2026 report paints a cautiously optimistic picture of the nursing workforce.

The report shows that engagement and resilience are improving, signaling a shift from workforce recovery toward longer-term sustainability.

Yet challenges remain. Early-career nurses continue to experience the highest turnover rates, and many nurses still struggle to disconnect from work. What stands out is that the strongest predictors of retention are not perks or incentives, but factors such as support, connection, onboarding, leadership visibility, and access to the resources needed to do the job well.

In the operating room, where teams are managing increasing procedural complexity while onboarding new staff and preparing for the retirement of experienced professionals, this raises an important question about how we define support.

At Incision, we believe support goes beyond staffing models and wellbeing initiatives. It also means making knowledge easier to access, expertise easier to share, and preparation easier to achieve. When people feel supported in their work, they are more confident, more engaged, and better equipped to deliver the highest standards of care.

As the conversation shifts from recovery to sustainability, perhaps the focus should shift as well. Beyond staffing numbers and retention metrics lies a more fundamental question: are we creating environments where people can learn, grow, contribute, and feel supported every day they come to work?

Today's SPD teams are more diverse than ever in terms of experience, training backgrounds, and certification pathways.

New technicians enter the field with varying levels of knowledge and experience. Seasoned professionals bring valuable expertise shaped by years of practice. Meanwhile, standards continue to evolve, technologies become more complex, and accreditation expectations grow.

The challenge for SPD leaders is not simply training individuals. It's creating consistency, competency, and confidence across the entire department.
In our latest blog, Karyn Wippler, Customer Success Manager at Incision, shares how hospitals are using MySPD to address this challenge.

"We see customers using MySPD in three main ways: orientation, continuous education, and standardization."

What makes these three areas so powerful is how interconnected they are. Strong orientation builds confidence from day one. Continuous education helps teams stay aligned as best practices evolve. Standardization and competency management help ensure quality, consistency, and audit readiness across the department.

The impact of this approach can be significant. At OhioHealth, MySPD helped strengthen staff knowledge and confidence across 13 SPD sites, including among team members with more than three years of experience.

Healthcare systems worldwide are sending a clear signal: operational resilience is becoming a strategic priority.

According to new research from Galen Growth, Healthcare Operations & Workflow now captures 46% of all health-system partnerships, as providers prioritize measurable ROI, workforce support, and capacity relief.

What makes this especially interesting is how consistent the trend is globally, even if the drivers differ by region.

• In the US, health systems are focused on reducing administrative bottlenecks and improving operational throughput.
• In Europe, the emphasis is on clinically validated solutions that strengthen preparedness, decision-making, and quality of care.
• In APAC, rapidly digitising healthcare systems are investing in scalable operational infrastructure from the ground up.

Across all regions, one challenge remains universal: Healthcare teams are being asked to manage growing complexity with limited time, staffing shortages, and increasing pressure.

That’s why operational technology in healthcare can no longer focus only on efficiency metrics; it must also support the people delivering care.

At Incision, we see this every day in the OR. Teams need accessible workflow knowledge, surgeon-specific preparation, and support that reduces stress during high-pressure moments.

Teams using Assist report:
• Faster onboarding
• Easy knowledge sharing across teams
• More predictable and sustainable OR workflows
• A culture of continuous improvement

Because stronger healthcare operations start with teams who feel confident, prepared, and supported.
