The Optimization Of Medical Consumables Inventory Management

As the society progresses and the improvement of people's living standard in congress, the new medical reformation is an important content of the 17th people's congress. The reformation put forward the promotion of public hospital reform and to further improve medical service system. Insist on the principle of the non-profit medical institutions as the core part, the for-profit medical institutions as supplements, public medical institutions as the leadership, the for-profit medical institutions have joint development. This reformation makes our medical market further standardize and aggravated competition degree. Therefore the hospital must pay attention to reduce operating costs, particularly concerned about the cost management of logistics links. The inventory cost get a large proportion of logistics costs, so the medical consumables inventory management is particularly important. The purposes of the inventory management of medical consumables are to utmost improving efficiency and reduce costs in the premise of satisfying demand of medical activities.This paper divide medical consumables into high value and low value consumables. The main research content is the consumables inventory and supplier management. Before the consumables inventory management is more extensive and backwardness, the main reason is the consumables'characters, followed by uncultured inventory management and information management behind. So, based on the characteristics of the inventory applying scientific management method and information to promote unify of logistics and information flow, to perfect the unity of the consumables inventory and supply management. Based on the angle of reduce costs and create third-profit source, this paper respectively on the research of inventory management of low-value and high-value consumables. The problem of low-value consumables inventory management is the backward purchase and inventory management and the unscientific forecast of the demand, it results in larger inventories. For the optimization of the low-value consumables'inventory, through the analysis of historical data, this paper makes the future demand of materials, and predicts not only to make the demand forecast in the future scientifically, but also to reduce the costs of purchasing and inventory, reached the optimization purposes. The problem of high-value consumables inventory management is that the supply management is backward and without technology information to support, causing process trivial and complex, and the information not circulation, so the inventory stays a high level and expends a lot of manpower and materials. The complex process and backward lead to a low medical service level and affect the patients'satisfaction. For the optimization of high-value consumables, this paper uses BPR theory and optimization theory method to perfect the consumables'supply process optimization and information management to realize zero inventory management of high value consumables supply, which save time, still save human power and materials, and improve the patients'satisfaction and the service level.Through using scientific method for the inventory of low-value and high-value consumables management and optimization can improve the hospital efficiency, reduce the cost and improve the competitiveness of hospital.
