Reforming public hospital procurement management model by establishing a procurement department
Objective Procurements are important economic activities in public hospitals.This paper aims to strengthen internal control of procurements and standardize procurement management and to improve operational efficiency and achieve high-quality development.Methods On the basis of analyzing the situation and shortcomings of the existing decentralized procure-ment management model,we utilized the five-aspect theory of"personnel,machinery,material,method,and environment",which is commonly used in enterprise quality management,to design a comprehensive procurement management model by engag-ing the actual needs.Results An independent procurement department was established in the hospital.With the department,procurement management was improved through professional training,separation of procurement and management,and construc-tion of information technology.Conclusion The coordinated procurement management model with an independent procurement de-partment can ensure the legality and compliance of procurement work,and realize planned procurement projects,efficient procure-ment processes,high-quality procurement results,and savings in procurement amounts.This assists hospitals in achieving high-quality development and providing a reference for scientifically strengthening procurement management in peer public hospitals.
