Application and Discussion of Total Cost of Ownership in Medical Equipment Procurement
Objective To explore the application effect based on the method of total cost of ownership in high supply chain costs,backward purchasing management and inability to fully meet clinical needs caused by the current medical equipment procurement method that only focuses on price factors.Methods The composition of medical equipment cost was analyzed,the total cost of ownership computation module was established,and the method of lowest total cost of ownership in medical equipment procurement was adopted.The total cost of procurement before and after implementation of the method was compared in 20 medical equipment procurement projects,and then the application effect of total cost of ownership method were evaluated.Results The procurement price was not equivalent to the total cost of ownership.Calculating the procurement cost using two different procurement methods,the results showed that there was a significant statistically difference(P<0.05)in procurement cost for 20 medical equipment procurement projects.Conclusion Traditional procurement model is difficult to adapt the development of hospitals.Combined with the actual application of the total cost of ownership method in the medical equipment procurement,it can reduce the total costs of the supply chain,optimize procurement process of medical equipment to better meet the clinical requirement and has good application prospects.
