[Discussion] I would like to hear a healthcare CEOs opinion on this before I bring it to my CEO

I've been working at a hospital in materials/maintenance for 9 years. Since the pandemic started storage has been a big concern at my facility. These last few months I've been going through everything in storage. The amount of items I've found that are either over ordered, expired, broken, or even trash has been eye opening. I can't imagine that my hospital is the only one that was unknowingly storing all these things that won't be used. I've completely turned around the storage issue by cleaning,ordering wire shelving, sending old paper work to iron mountain or to be shredded. Also getting rid of any cardboard within reason. Now we have more than enough room to store covid-19 related items without breaking any joint commission/state outlines. I work at a hospital that is a corporation with alot of other hospitals under the same umbrella. My suggestion would be to have me go from hospital to hospital to evaluate and help them get their storage, and other areas in tip top shape. Do you think this is something I should bring to my CEO?
