Whole process closed-loop traceability management for high-value consumables using international standard bar code / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Scientific management of high-value medical consumables is key to hospital development and service. By setting up a lean logistics management(SPD)platform in the hospital and decoding the international standard bar code(GS1/HIBC), the hospital has established a general coding library of high-value consumables. With RFID Internet of things technology and equipment introduced and business operation templates of each link combined, we have achieved a closed-loop management of both sides of the high-value consumables process.
