Well-Stocked Medical Offices Offer Patients Better Care

Find the supplies your office needs

Managing a medical office is a balancing act. You need to deliver great care to patients, support your staff and keep your facilities running smoothly.

To free up time and stretch your budget further, re-evaluate how you keep your medical office stocked with essential supplies.

How to keep your medical office stocked

More goes into buying supplies for your medical office than just finding good prices on high-quality materials. Here are a few more considerations that will help you spend less time and energy on supply inventory management, so you can focus on delivering excellent care.

Get more of your supplies in one place

Here are some of the most important categories of products to consider when searching for medical office supplies:

• PPE: The world has gained a new appreciation for personal protective equipment like masks and gloves since 2020, and PPE is just as essential for medical offices as ever. Make sure your office has a range of PPE sizes for staff members, as well as options suitable for common allergies.

• Cleaning supplies: Hygiene is essential for a healthy medical office. Keep an assortment of easy-to-use and effective cleaning supplies on hand to help ensure patients have a safe and clean experience with every visit.

• Office supplies: Even with electronic health records, medical offices still go through plenty of paper. Toner, staples, paper clips, pens, highlighters and many other kinds of office supplies will keep the administrative side of your medical office running smoothly.

You may have multiple suppliers for a variety of different items. Examine whether all of them are meeting your needs. The time you spend working with different suppliers adds up, and so does the logistical headache of tracking different order forms and delivery schedules.

Switching to a business-oriented marketplace that offers a wide range of products all in one place, like Walmart Business, will help you find great prices and reduce admin overhead.

Bulk buy common items

Things like face masks, alcohol prep wipes and any other nonperishable materials that your office goes through in large quantities are excellent candidates for bulk purchases. Bulk buys bring three main benefits for your business:

• They help you lock in low prices when they’re available.

• They reduce the time spent ordering and reordering materials, since each order will last longer.

• They bring peace of mind, as staff members know they have all the necessary resources to do their jobs effectively.

Walmart Business offers low prices and bulk buys on a wide variety of workplace must-haves.

Subscribe to recurring purchases

Items that your medical office uses regularly but aren’t suitable for bulk buys—perhaps because they expire too quickly or take too much space to store—may be great options for subscriptions.¹

Walmart Business lets you easily create custom subscriptions to many types of products. You decide the quantity and frequency of delivery, so you keep your supply cabinets well stocked.

Save on deliveries & shipping

Switching to more affordable and convenient supply options for your medical office doesn’t have to come with expensive shipping or long waits for delivery. Your medical office should be able to rely on getting the supplies it needs when it needs them.
