Exam Room Setup Checklist for a New Practice

Opening a new practice, or adding a room to an existing one, means equipping each exam room so it supports clean, efficient patient flow. Use this checklist to make sure nothing is missed.

1. Exam table or chair

The centerpiece of the room. Choose based on your specialty and patient population: power high-low tables for accessibility, treatment tables for procedures, or specialty seating for phlebotomy. See Exam & Treatment Tables.

2. Provider and patient seating

A height-adjustable provider stool and durable, easy-clean guest seating. Browse Chairs & Stools.

3. Storage and work surfaces

Cabinets, carts, and countertops keep supplies within reach and off the floor. Lockable storage is essential for medications and sharps. Explore Exam Room furniture.

4. Lighting

A dedicated exam light improves visualization for assessments and minor procedures, separate from ambient room lighting.

5. Consumables and infection control

Table paper, gloves, prep pads, gauze, sharps containers, and hand hygiene stations. Stock these in volume so rooms are never caught short.

Plan the whole room at once
