With so many IOLs in stock, ASCs should utilize automated inventory management systems to drive clinical, financial and operational value, she said in a blog post

Here are Ms. White’s tips for leveraging an automated IOL inventory management system.

2. Designate one individual to champion the new system and encourage others to take advantage of its features.

3. Actively and continuously manage IOL inventory through system-generated inventory reports.
