Exploration of the rationality evaluation path for clinical use of medical consumables in a hospital
The rational use of medical consumables in clinical practice is of great significance for improving medical quality and controlling medical costs.In June 2023,a tertiary hospital established a management organization system,formulated a list of key monitored medical consumables,built supporting information system and database,and established a warning mechanism,to explore the rationality evaluation path for clinical use of medical consumables through in-depth analysis of the entire hospital-department-disease-surgical procedure.This evaluation path achieved good results.Taking absorbable hemostatic gauze as an example,through implementing this evaluation path,problems with the clinical use of this consumable were promptly identified,and targeted improvements were made.After rectification,the number of absorbable hemostatic gauze used in the third quarter of 2023(209.0 pieces)had decreased compared to the second quarter of the same year(254.0 pieces),and clinical use was more reasonable and standardized.This evaluation path achieved refined control over key monitored medical consumables,which could provide references for other hospitals to carry out the management of clinical rational use of medical consumables.
