When surgical volume rises, standardized practice shouldn’t become harder to maintain. But new research suggests that’s exactly when sterile processing teams can feel the pressure most.

A recent study published in Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology explored the experiences of sterile processing professionals at a Level 1 trauma academic medical center.

The findings highlight challenges many SPD teams will recognize:
• 77% reported inconsistent adherence to established procedures, particularly during periods of high surgical volume
• 69% identified training gaps
• 62% reported workflow variation
• 92% identified operational inefficiencies

The researchers point to standardized workflows, workforce education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leadership engagement as important elements in strengthening sterile processing reliability.

For us, one message stands out: supporting sterile processing means supporting the people behind the process.

As instrumentation becomes more complex and demands on departments continue to grow, giving teams the right training and resources matters. MySPD gives sterile processing professionals practical, accessible learning they can use to build their knowledge and confidence, whether they’re new to the department or have years of experience.

Earlier this week, we looked at the pressure onboarding can place on perioperative educators and preceptors.

A recent Becker’s Hospital Review article adds another perspective to the conversation. Nurse executives identified three areas where they see gaps among new nurses entering the workforce: critical thinking, communication and hands-on clinical experience.

These are skills that develop with time and experience. And in the OR, there is a lot of department-specific knowledge to learn along the way.

New team members need to become familiar with procedures, surgeon preferences, equipment, room setups and different ways of working. Experienced colleagues are essential in helping them build that knowledge and, importantly, the judgment to apply it in practice.

The question is how we can help new team members become more prepared and increasingly independent without expecting educators and preceptors to be their source for every piece of information.

This is one of the challenges we’re working to address with Incision Assist. Teams can capture and share surgeon-specific workflows, preference cards, room setups, device guidance and educational content, giving new colleagues a reliable place to prepare for cases and find information themselves.

That leaves more of the time spent with experienced colleagues for what matters most: feedback, coaching, judgment and learning from experience.

How is your OR helping new team members build independence during onboarding?

We often think of operational efficiency in terms of time, staffing, and capacity. Knowledge is just as critical. When information is difficult to access or maintain, inefficiencies quickly follow.

In the latest Operational Efficiency Knowledge Guide from Periop Leader Network, Thomas Needs explores how surgeon preference cards can become more than administrative documents. When digitized and embedded into everyday workflows, they can support standardization, preserve institutional knowledge, reduce waste, and help perioperative teams prepare with confidence.

The guide brings together practical ideas and perspectives from across the perioperative community, offering valuable insights for anyone focused on advancing operational efficiency in the OR.

Thank you to Periop Leader Network for bringing together this collection of insights, and to the fellow contributing partners for helping move the conversation forward.

Last week, our US Customer Success team came together in San Francisco, bringing colleagues from across the country together for a week of learning, collaboration, and connection.

We spent the week aligning on our vision, sharing customer stories, exchanging best practices, exploring new ideas, and discussing how we can continue to deliver the best possible experience for our customers.

From Customer Success, Implementation and Marketing to AI, cost-saving initiatives, and action planning, every session gave us new perspectives and practical ideas to take back into our work.

Wednesday was a definite highlight. We kicked off summer with a picnic near the Golden Gate Bridge before boarding a dinner cruise. Seeing San Francisco from the water, catching up with colleagues, and enjoying time together outside the usual work setting made for a fantastic evening.

Spending a few days together reminded us how valuable these moments are. Stronger connections within the team lead to better collaboration, fresh ideas, and ultimately even better support for the hospitals and perioperative teams we work with every day.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the week such a success. We headed home energized, inspired, and excited to put these ideas into practice with our customers.

Another great HPN in the books!

It was wonderful to be back at HPN San Diego, where Drew and Andy had the opportunity to connect with senior healthcare leaders from across the US.

Over the past few years, HPN has become much more than another conference for us. It's a place where meaningful conversations happen, new relationships are built, and familiar faces become trusted partners. Taking time away from the day-to-day to exchange ideas and hear firsthand about the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare organizations is always incredibly valuable.

A big thank you to the HPN team for bringing together such an engaged community and creating the space for thoughtful conversations and lasting connections. We're also grateful to everyone who met with us throughout the event. The one-on-one conversations about supporting perioperative teams, strengthening onboarding, and helping staff feel more confident in the OR continue to inspire the work we do every day.

We're excited to keep those conversations going at HPN Atlanta. If you'll be there too, we'd love to connect.

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?
