OR Today Webinar | May 14
1 CE Credit Available

As regulatory expectations evolve, perioperative leaders are facing a new reality: compliance is no longer just about having the right policies in place—it’s about how consistently those policies are executed across the OR and Sterile Processing Department (SPD).

With updates like Accreditation 360 reshaping how survey readiness is evaluated, even high-performing teams may be exposed to hidden gaps that impact both patient safety and survey outcomes.

To help address these challenges, Surgical Solutions is hosting an upcoming webinar focused on identifying and resolving compliance risks within the OR–SPD workflow.

Why This Matters Now

The connection between the OR and SPD is one of the most critical—and often most variable—relationships in surgical services. Small inconsistencies in communication, instrument handling, or workflow standardization can create ripple effects that lead to:

• Increased risk during accreditation surveys
• Breakdowns in sterilization assurance
• Inefficiencies that impact case flow and turnaround times

As surveyors place greater emphasis on real-world practice (not just documented policy), alignment between departments has never been more important.

What You’ll Learn

In this session, our clinical experts will break down where compliance gaps tend to hide—and how to proactively address them.

Key learning objectives include:

• Understanding key changes under Accreditation 360 and what they mean for your team
• Identifying common areas of variability in OR–SPD workflows
• Exploring how workflow inconsistency can impact survey performance
• Learning practical methods to assess your team’s readiness
• Implementing strategies to improve alignment and standardization between OR and SPD
