Appearances
What I saw didn't match what Maria had shown me.
Cases were delayed, waiting for instruments.
Surgeons had personal stashes of equipment they've accumulated because they didn't trust the system.
Circulating nurses spent significant amount of time hunting down missing items.
And the OR director was frustrated.
And when I asked about the relationship with SPD, she just shook her head.
They tell us everything is fine, she said.
The numbers look good.
but we're struggling every day.
When I shared these observations with Maria, she was genuinely surprised, not defensive, surprised.
She had no idea.
The dysfunction I witnessed in the OR simply didn't appear on any report she received or any dashboard she monitored.
From where she sat, the operations was working.
David's situation was a bit different in the details, but identical in the pattern.
He directed SPD at a large academic medical center, a complex operation with high volume and demanding surgeons.
David was sharp, experienced, and genuinely committed to excellence.
His department had invested in new technology
processes and track dozen metrics.
And yet the CFO kept asking why instruments costs were climbing.
The quality team kept flagging near miss events.
