About SPD 911 | With Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs, Sharon Greene-Golden & Derrick Jones Sr.

When surgery happens, there’s a whole team making sure the tools are clean, safe, and ready. That team is the Sterile Processing Department (SPD). But most people don’t see what goes on behind the scenes—or how much can go wrong if leadership isn’t strong. That’s why SPD911 exists. This is the show where we talk about the real problems and real solutions happening in sterile processing today. What Is SPD911 About? SPD911 is hosted by Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs with leaders Sharon Greene-Golden, Derrick Jones, and Karen Cherry-Brown. Together, they bring decades of experience in healthcare leadership, compliance, and sterile processing.

These are things that happen every day in SPD departments all over the country. From small hospitals to major healthcare systems, these problems affect patient safety and hospital profits.

   (BONUS) Dr. Jake ORBMS KEYNOTE REACTION

   EPISODE 3 — “The First 90 Days: What No One Warns You About” The first 90 days in Sterile Processing can feel like getting dropped into a storm with no map. Everything is “STAT.” Every phone call sounds like the building is on fire. You’re expected to move fast, but nobody ever clearly tells you what “right” looks like. And the crazy part? Even when people do get corrected, the same mistakes keep showing up shift after shift — not because techs don’t care, but because the work itself isn’t clearly defined, clearly prioritized, or consistently coached. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening underneath the panic: Why some departments live in constant emergency mode Why new techs get corrected for things they were never properly taught Why reminders don’t fix repeat errors when the system stays the same How unclear work creates stress, rushing, injuries, and burnout And what actually builds confidence so new techs stop second-guessing every step This isn’t a motivation episode. It’s a reality check. Because when everything is urgent, nothing is clear. And when nothing is clear, people get hurt — mentally, physically, and professionally. If you’ve ever wondered why the job feels harder than it should… this is the episode that explains it.
