SPD Staffing

Having the right number of qualified SPD Technicians is the most important variable for SPD production. Without the right number of qualified technicians, your department will struggle to meet its three primary goals of having instruments Available, Functional and Safe for every patient use. SpecialtyCare provides certified SPD Technicians to meet your needs.

SPD Assessments and Consulting

Our team of experts led by Marcy Konja and Gregory Agoston will provide a thorough review of your SPD. Using Lean Six Sigma principles we look for solutions that address the root cause of the problems.

Managers of Quality and Education

Staff Proficiency is a critical variable affecting SPD production. SpecialtyCare provides certified SPD Managers of Quality and Education to ensure that Quality systems are in place and that there are programs to support your teams educational needs.

Instrument Set Optimization

Our program uses a data-driven approach comparing your surgeon’s actual instrument usage vs. our national benchmark data to identify unneeded instruments and necessary set changes. Often, changes to a set can eliminate the need for pulling a second set of instruments. Both opportunities result in significant cost savings and improvement in efficiency by removing excess instruments from sets and re-configuring sets for better utility.

Instrument Management and Tracking Systems

Our cloud base system provides exceptional management tools and accessibility for managing and tracking your investment in surgical instruments and loaner equipment. Advanced systems for tracking SPD-related events are included. This feature will allow you as the SPD manager to proactively gain insights in trends and apply corrective action to solve problems.

Robotic Program Optimization

We can recommend and implement programmatic changes in a peer-to-peer manner that will make your robotic program top quartile — or better — compared to national performance standards. After program optimizations are implemented with your surgeons and OR crew, we provide longer-term program monitoring and support to ensure that improvements remain integrated into your program for years to come as your robotics program grows.
