Free tray accuracy trackers from the HSPA 2026 mini-session by Dannie Smith III. Two editions — built so SPD teams can turn daily discrepancy logs into the patterns that actually move the needle.
Two editions, same data structure. Pick the one that fits your role — or grab both and pass them to your team. No setup. Drop-downs and formulas already wired.
Low-friction logging for the bench. Three tabs, drop-downs throughout, and an auto-pivot summary that surfaces this week's top patterns.
Eleven tabs of informatics. Dashboards, Pareto signal, specialty and tech analysis, plus an auto-suggested Education Action Plan that pulls live from your top patterns.
BLS & CPR instructor courses and SPD certification prep are in development. Drop your email to hear when they go live — no spam, no marketing list, just one note when something new ships.
Every SPD department logs missing instruments. Most departments treat each event as a one-off — write it up, move on. But let a few weeks of those reports sit next to each other, and patterns emerge.
The same instruments show up. The same trays. The same shifts. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. That’s the talk in one breath: turning what feels random into something you can actually work with.
You don’t need expensive software. You need consistent data — and a culture that uses it.
The trackers above are the working tools that come out of the talk. Tech Edition for the bench. Manager Edition for leadership. Same data structure, different depth. Built for the SPD community, not sold to it.
If the work resonates, share it with your team. If it leads somewhere — an in-service, a workflow change, a recovered orphan instrument — I’d genuinely love to hear about it.
Surgicaltrey Education & Training is building out a small, focused set of programs for SPD professionals. Here’s the roadmap.
The two Excel templates above. Free, branded, ready to use on Monday morning. Built specifically for SPD discrepancy data.
AHA-aligned BLS instructor and provider courses. Hands-on cohorts in the Philadelphia / South Jersey region, with corporate and hospital-team rates.
Structured prep materials and live cohorts for HSPA certifications — CRCST, CIS, CHL, and CER. Built from a decade of teaching the curriculum, not regurgitating it.
