ABSTRACT
Objective:As the amount of scientific reagents/consumables procurement in tertiary medical institutions increases year by year, it is necessary to seek for a more optimized operation mode for the current management needs to improve the procurement service and management of scientific reagents/consumables.Methods:Focused on the bottleneck problem of scientific research reagents/consumables procurement management, combined with the investigation of management mode in the same field and the review of relevant literature, a scientific research reagents/consumables procurement platform suitable for hospital was established, which was operated in the whole hospital for 2 years and continuingly improved.Results:The application of the scientific reagents/consumables procurement platform is expected to save 7%~8% of the scientific reagents/consumables related expenditure, which can make the scientific research procurement work standardized and simple, the procurement management precise and fast, and also provide favorable support for the prevention and control of epidemic diseases in hospitals.Conclusions:This platform is conducive to improving the service and management level of scientific reagents/consumables procurement in our hospital, and has conditions to expand the scope and increase the depth of management and service.
ABSTRACT
Objective Along with the fast increasing of scientific research capacity,more and more financial funding were available at hospital level,at the same time,the kinds and quantities of the reagents and consumables for scientific research uses are also increased.As a result,procurement risks become a gig concern in hospitals.Thus,how to increase the cost-effectiveness of their financial funds while lowering the risks and hidden troubles are the key issues need addressing urgently.Methods This paper took Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University as an example,summarized its service conditions of reagents and consumables for scientific research uses in past three years (2014-2016),according to the comparison and analysis of their actual prices with the guiding prices on the same as indicated on the informational procurement platform,to discuss the existing issues and risks.Results Under the current procurement management system of reagents and consumables for scientific research uses,the purchasing price for some items are relatively high.Conclusions This paper specifically proposed some measures and advices on risk prevention and control during the period of transition with the intention to reduce the purchasing cost,increasing the costeffectiveness of the financial funds,and lowering the risks and hidden troubles in procurements.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To improve the drug turnover rate and the work efficiency of drug storehouse,and to reduce the cost of drug storage. METHODS:Based on ABC dynamic classification,original drug procurement management module in HIS was im-proved. Scientific,accurate and reasonable drug procurement plan was generated by the system automatically through setting pro-curement proportion coefficient. Drug procurement by type was achieved through adding classification scanning function,based on distribution mode and drug property classification. Related index were compared before and after improvement to evaluate the ef-fects of the improvement. RESULTS:Compared with before improvement,average monthly inventory amount of drugs in our hos-pital reduced by 6.44%,turnover rate increased by 47.13%(increasing from 4.18% to 6.15%),and the time for developing pro-curement plan decreased by 75.00%(decreasing from 8 h to 2 h). CONCLUSIONS:The improvement of drug procurement man-agement module effectively reduce drug inventory and improve turnover rate of drugs and work efficiency.
ABSTRACT
The research objective was to identify the effect of various instruction media on improving students' foodservice management competencies and for increasing class satisfaction. The research involved a comparison of two student groups. One group consisted of students who attended a lecture-based food purchasing class (Group A). The other group was students who attended the same class, and who also used various media as well as receiving the lecture Group B). The results were as follows: 1) After a 16 week program, Group B perceived their procurement management competencies to be higher than those of Group A, especially in setting up purchasing goals, marketing research, and using computer systems for procurement; 2) In terms of class satisfaction, it was also observed that Group B was more satisfied with food purchasing class than was Group A. Group B gave high scores, especially in effective utilization media, increasing motivation, and understanding; 3) Group B perceived that various instruction media was helpful for developing their procurement management competencies. Respondents evaluated the usefulness of media in the following order: using Power Point, watching videos, visiting web-sites for food purchasing class, and surfing the World Wide Web. The results of the research show that using various instruction media for food purchasing classes would improve students' foodservice management competencies. Therefore, instructors who teach foodservice management related courses should consider developing teaching strategies that apply various instruction media for students to enhance their foodservice management competencies and to increase class satisfaction.
