Surgical Solutions to Host OR Today Webinar
OR Today has highlighted Surgical Solutions with a corporate profile and the opportunity to speak at an upcoming webinar on November 13, 2025. The webinar, titled "Two Sides of the Same Tray: OR & SPD Working Better Together," will feature three of Surgical Solutions' best and brightest.
This opportunity allows Surgical Solutions to talk about a subject we know all to well: surgical services today are more complex than ever. Evolving IFUs, tighter compliance standards, and increased case volumes have stretched perioperative teams thin. The link between the Operating Room (OR) and Sterile Processing Department (SPD) has never been more critical. Bridging opportunities are critical for success. This upcoming webinar will focus on this important subject. To learn more and sign up, click here.
Too often, these two essential areas work in silos. Yet, when the OR and SPD operate as one team, everything improves, from efficiency and safety to staff morale and patient outcomes.
That’s the driving idea behind the upcoming OR Today webinar: “Two Sides of the Same Tray – OR & SPD Working Better Together.”

Why This Conversation Matters
As our speakers share, managing today’s surgical services requires more than technical skill — it demands cross-departmental leadership.
“Success in the OR depends on seamless collaboration with SPD, but often these two critical areas work in silos,” said Betty Casey. “When they start to function as one team, communication improves, errors decrease, and patient outcomes strengthen."
The webinar reframes a familiar challenge: the divide between SPD and OR, as a shared opportunity to:
-
Reduce surgical delays and instrument errors
-
Strengthen communication and compliance
-
Align priorities between clinical and sterile processing teams
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Understand operational and cultural differences between OR and SPD teams
- Learn actionable leadership strategies to align both departments
- Identify common communication and compliance pitfalls
- Take practical steps to lead effectively across both functions
A Broader Mission: Collaboration in Action
This webinar builds on themes featured in the October 2025 issue of OR Today, which spotlighted Surgical Solutions, and the integrated approach to supporting hospitals across the country.
As the profile highlights, Surgical Solutions doesn’t just place teams in the OR or SPD, we bring them together, helping facilities build sustainable systems that improve workflow, safety, and satisfaction.
“Our role is to make sure both sides of the tray are aligned — because collaboration between SPD and OR isn’t optional anymore,” says Nate Peak. “It’s essential for safe, efficient surgery.”
Join the Conversation
Join the discussion on November 13 to hear real-world strategies from leaders who have successfully navigated both SPD and OR environments.
