MRI Supply Storage Redesign
Dec 2023
A redesigned storage system for MRI rooms, developed to reduce the need for technicians to retrieve supplies from distant locations, improving operational efficiency.
Overview

Brief
CHOP’s MRI department faced workflow inefficiencies due to disorganized supply systems and safety risks from misplaced items. These issues disrupted inventory management and patient care.
Identified Problem
Research revealed that supplies were frequently retrieved from other rooms instead of the main supply area, leading to clutter, safety hazards, and inefficiencies.
Solution
A system combining color-coded labels, FIFO containers, transparent vertical storage, and modular shelving prototypes was developed to improve organization and accessibility.
Outcome
The proposed solutions streamlined supply workflows, improved accessibility, and reduced waste. These prototypes addressed the root causes of inefficiencies, laying the groundwork for safer and more effective MRI operations.
