In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the harsh realities facing sterile processing professionals across the country. From being underpaid despite increasing responsibilities, to unrealistic hospital demands with little support, this episode dives into what it really feels like to work in SPD today.
We confront:
Why SPD techs are still fighting for fair compensation
The dangers of the “do more with less” culture
The risk and impact of relying on untrained temp workers
What happens when SPD is first to get cut during hospital restructures
The fear of being replaced by automation and AI
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or undervalued in your SPD role—this episode is for you. It’s time to talk about it, strategize around it, and push for real change.

SPD 911 Episode 1: Communication, Accountability & Leadership in Sterile Processing 🚨 "Communication is about talking… but talking without accountability gets you nowhere." – Sharon Greene-Golden 🔥 In this powerful first episode of SPD 911, we break down one of the biggest challenges in Sterile Processing: How can SPD teams improve communication with the OR and set realistic expectations?
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How to document incomplete trays in real-time (before instruments “disappear”)
- Why immediate communication matters – waiting too long skews memory & shifts blame
- How SPD professionals can set boundaries with the OR and advocate for accountability
- The leadership mindset SPD techs need to navigate daily challenges
One Key Takeaway: You can’t just talk—accountability has to follow. If you’re not proving your case with facts, photos, and immediate responses, you’re already losing the battle.
