EP. 206: Standards Under Fire | Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs - Sharon Greene-Golden - Derrick Jones | #SPD911 @SIPSHEALTHCARE
Description
SPD911 Season 2, Episode 6: “Standards Under Fire” 🔥 When the pressure’s on, do you protect the standard — or protect your job? In this powerful episode of SPD911, we’re tackling what happens when doing things the right way collides with doing things the fast way. From ignored IFUs to leadership pushing unsafe shortcuts, this episode is for every SPD professional who’s ever felt stuck between compliance and chaos.
🔍 Episode Scenarios
1️⃣ Getting Staff to Follow IFUs: “What do you do when your team skips steps and says, ‘We’ve always done it this way’?”
2️⃣ Leadership Pressure to Cut Corners: “How do you handle it when management asks you to move faster by bending the rules?”
3️⃣ Documenting Safety Concerns: “How can you protect yourself — and your patients — when reporting noncompliance?”
4️⃣ Convincing Staff That ‘Sterile Is Not Just Clean’: “How do you shift the mindset from ‘looks clean’ to truly sterile?”
5️⃣ Handling Sterilizer Failures: “What’s the right move when SPD gets blamed for something that isn’t your fault?”
💬 Real Talk. Real Leadership. Our hosts break down how to stand firm under pressure, communicate effectively, and lead with integrity even when others don’t. Expect motivational but real-world guidance — not theory, but tactics that protect your license, your department, and your patients.
💡 Closing Wisdom Because upholding standards isn’t about perfection — it’s about commitment. Every host leaves a direct, personal message to the SPD professionals fighting to do what’s right when no one’s watching. “We are the emergency response team for sterile processing.” “From the basement to the boardroom.” “Someone has to be the standard bearer — let it be you.”
