Small Change, Big Results: An Orderly Procedure Cart Drawer Could Save a Life

The drawers in your procedure carts should be an extension of the 5S Lean processes that are applied in storage rooms.

For procedure carts containing equipment or instruments, use drawer organizers with larger compartments.

Be sure to label your drawers and each compartment so that supplies and equipment are always found in the same location.
