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.
Each episode covers tough topics like:
Dirty trays making it to surgery rooms
Wet packs and why they keep happening
Why some SPD leaders aren’t ready for their jobs
Why hospitals hire certified techs who still don’t know what they’re doing
How sterile processing departments can get more respect, better pay, and stronger leadership
We share real-life situations from hospitals. 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.
Who Is SPD911 For?
SPD techs who want to grow and lead
Managers and supervisors trying to run strong departments
Hospital executives who want to cut costs and reduce patient risk
Anyone in healthcare who wants to understand what really keeps surgery safe
Why Listen to SPD911?
Because sterile processing is one of the most important parts of a hospital—and often the most overlooked. We bring open, honest conversations about:
How leadership changes everything in SPD
Why compliance checklists don’t always mean things are safe
How to build a real career path in sterile processing
How SIPS Healthcare Solutions is helping hospitals fix broken systems with tools like the Sterile by Design framework
Our Promise:
We won’t sugarcoat things. We won’t waste your time.
Real professionals. Real problems. Real solutions.
Because at SPD911, we don’t just process instruments—we process truth.
