Hospital logistics management in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic -A Case Study of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University

ABSTRACT

Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), known as COVID-19 for short, is a new infectious disease that spreads rapidly. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the global epidemic situation is still grim. It is necessary for a comprehensive grade triple-A hospital to strictly control the transmission risk in the hospital and ensure the life and health safety of medical staff, other patients and accompanying staff, in addition to fulfilling its responsibility of treating COVID-19 patients. In this context, unprecedented challenges have been posed to the routine work flow of the hospital, including personnel management, system construction, supply and logistics support, and infection control. The paper summarizes the experience in hospital logistics support management, aiming at exploring strategies for coping with the COVID-19 epidemic.
