clear plastic bins on
our supply-room
shelves. Not only does
this help keep things
neat and orderly, but
also it makes it easy to
see when we're running low on snacks. At a quick glance, we can
know when it's time to re-order. Boxes or shipping containers that are
brought in from outside have long been prohibited in the OR area, but
now we apply the same principle to all storage areas within our surgery center.
