Pediatric Clinic Growth Supply Plan
Expanding exam rooms, vaccine clinics, and specialty services without outgrowing supply infrastructure.
Growth Drivers
- Increase in well-child visits, urgent care services, and behavioral health screenings.
- Seasonal spikes (school physicals, flu clinics) require rapid scaling.
- Need for child-friendly supplies and decor that meet safety standards.

Capacity Planning
- Model supply consumption per provider per day across core service lines.
- Align exam room setup kits to reduce restocking time.
- Reserve storage for bulky items (diapers, formula, Neb sets) using vertical shelving.
Child-Friendly Supply Formulary
- Flavor-masked oral meds, distraction tools, colorful bandages.
- Needle alternatives (jet injectors) when clinically appropriate.
- Giveaway items pre-boxed for easy distribution.

- Set thresholds for when to escalate to procurement vs. buying locally.
