Effect of Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints Consumables on Total Arthroplasty in a Grade A Ter-tiary Hospital
Objective To evaluate the effect of centralized procurement of artificial joint consumables on total arthro-plasty placement surgery.Methods Through a retrospective study,t-test was conducted on the medical quality and effi-ciency,hospitalization cost per time structure through July-December,2021 to July-December,2022 centralized pro-curement of joint replacement surgery in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai.Results After centralized procurement,the amount of knee arthroplasty surgery decreased,and the time of hip replacement surgery was increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The total cost,cost of consumables,arthrotomy fee of the two types of arthroplasty surgery were significantly decreased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In addition,the average cost of other consumables hospitalization of knee joint surgery patient increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion After centralized procurement of artificial joint consumables,the cost of total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty has decreased significantly,and the quality and efficiency of medical care have not changed significantly.At the same time,hospital managers should pay more attention to the rational use of consumables after centralized procurement.In addition,it calls for increasing the price of surgery to reflect the value of physician services.
