It's hard for me to fathom, but I am seeing a need to teach some basic practices when stocking exam rooms.

Things like rotating older stock to the front when restocking, keeping items that expire at the same time together, not overstocking, keeping only frequently used items in the exam rooms, etc. do not seem to be as widely understood as I believed.

I'm thinking about developing a tip sheet, but wondering if anyone has already done work like this that they might be willing to share. If not, I will certainly share my own once it is completed.  

Hi Scott, you are not alone. We have a room set-up job aid to ensure each exam room is standardized. The MA is responsible for stocking their room at the end of the day. Our providers/MA are not guaranteed to be in the same room the following day so this is a courtesy that everyone is encouraged to follow. I will email it to you.

Hi again, Heather are you able to share this? I would love to utilize this as well. I had planned on drafting something but this would save some time.

Thank you so much!
