Today's SPD teams are more diverse than ever in terms of experience, training backgrounds, and certification pathways.
New technicians enter the field with varying levels of knowledge and experience. Seasoned professionals bring valuable expertise shaped by years of practice. Meanwhile, standards continue to evolve, technologies become more complex, and accreditation expectations grow.
The challenge for SPD leaders is not simply training individuals. It's creating consistency, competency, and confidence across the entire department.
In our latest blog, Karyn Wippler, Customer Success Manager at Incision, shares how hospitals are using MySPD to address this challenge.
"We see customers using MySPD in three main ways: orientation, continuous education, and standardization."
What makes these three areas so powerful is how interconnected they are. Strong orientation builds confidence from day one. Continuous education helps teams stay aligned as best practices evolve. Standardization and competency management help ensure quality, consistency, and audit readiness across the department.
The impact of this approach can be significant. At OhioHealth, MySPD helped strengthen staff knowledge and confidence across 13 SPD sites, including among team members with more than three years of experience.
