EP. 204: “SPD vs OR: The Blame Game | Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs - Sharon Greene-Golden - Derrick Jones | #SPD911 @SIPSHEALTHCARE
Update: 2025-10-20
Description
Daily tension. Pointing fingers. Delayed cases. In this episode we stop the spiral and show exactly how leaders reset the relationship between SPD and the OR—without compromising safety, standards, or respect.
What we cover (scenarios) Constant Conflict Between SPD & OR — How do I stop the daily firefights and reset collaboration? SPD Blamed for Canceled Cases — How do I respond when SPD gets scapegoated—even when root cause is upstream? Escalating OR Errors — What’s the right way to escalate repeated issues without escalating the drama? Educating OR on Instrument Care — How do we train up without sounding condescending? Building Trust with Surgeons — How do we earn credibility with surgeons who dismiss SPD? You’ll walk away with A blame-to-process script that redirects heat toward facts, standards, and fixes.
A closed-loop pathway for errors (report → huddle → corrective action → verify). A simple education plan for the OR (micro in-services, visual cues, return audits). A surgeon trust playbook (preference card alignment, proactive briefs, rapid-recover tactics). Metrics that change behavior: tray completeness %, return condition score, delay minutes, IUSS trends. Closing Wisdom We speak directly to techs and leaders who feel invisible or unfairly blamed. Professionalism + consistency change cultures. Take one step this week: educate, communicate, or de-escalate—then repeat.
