It's every team member's responsibility to know where objects live around the office—no matter if the items are used daily or rarely. To help your team learn the locations of hard-to-find tools, try holding a scavenger hunt. The first step: poll your practice to see what to include on the list.

Here's a sample list from Donna Bauman, CVPM, practice manager at Ottawa Animal Hospital in Holland, Mich., to get you started.

Allergy tests
Blood collection sets
Culture plates
Emergency drug box
Flashlights
High-level scissors
Infusion pump
Large bloat tube
