Managing today’s surgical services is more complex than ever. Advanced procedures, shifting IFUs, and more oversight have stretched perioperative teams across the board. Success in the OR depends on seamless collaboration with SPD, but often these two critical areas work in silos. This session reframes the challenge as an opportunity: by bridging the gap between OR and SPD, healthcare professionals at all levels can reduce risk, improve communication, and deliver stronger outcomes for patients. In this interactive discussion, you’ll hear from speakers who have “walked the walk” and are working side by side with OR and SPD teams in hospitals across the nation. They’ll share real-world stories from the field, offer best-practice tips, and highlight strategies for adapting to the rapidly changing demands of surgical services. Together, we’ll explore challenges, opportunities, and the “future state” of OR/SPD collaboration.
