SPD911 EP. 303 SGG Returns: What I Wish I Knew Before Sterile Processing

Dr. J Taylor Jacobs and SPD legend Shane Green Gold (SGG) discuss the hard lessons and realities of sterile processing: why so many cases feel like emergencies, how "stat" is often misused, and the importance of forecasting, prioritization, and true audit-ready practices.

They also cover training failures, orientation best practices, human-factor management, and how to overcome operational blindness by building better systems, clear SOPs, and consistent habits to protect patient safety.
