Winning the OR Culture Wars - Sterile Processing & Surgeons… How You Can Spread the Love Jun 23, 2022

Whether it's a set that's unsterile for her first case, a scope that is cloudy for the umpteenth time, or an untimely delay in delivering the additional needle holders he needs to replace the ones that aren't locking properly -- understandable frustration is sure to follow. You may not hear the grumbles down in SPD, but the cultural damage is certainly done and it runs deep. But there's good news. There's light at the end of this gloomy OR hallway.
