RFID information management of high-value medical consumables

What is the current situation of high-value medical consumables management and information management? The Hospital form in my country was first seen in the "Book of Han". Its main purpose is to save lives, heal the sick, and save lives. However, hospitals have various problems in the management of high-value consumables, and various management loopholes and dead ends have caused The artificially high operating costs of high-value consumables have seriously restricted the cost reduction and quality improvement of hospitals' high-value consumables. Let’s take a look at the current status of medical high-value consumables management and information management?

The current weak link in the management of high-value consumables. Generally manifested in the following aspects:

1.1 Incomplete basic data registration

The first manifestation is that the basic database material names are not standardized, the specifications are incomplete, the price adjustment of consumables is not timely, and the price comparison information of different suppliers of similar consumables is incomplete and lagging. The result is that the accounting department cannot accurately record the names and prices of high-value consumables according to the standards, which is not conducive to department accounting management, cannot carry out accurate cost confirmation, and will also lead to unreasonable purchase prices of high-value consumables; secondly, The management of the "three certificates" (including product registration certificate, production license or business license, and health license) lacks real-time performance. Sometimes the validity period of the three certificates has expired, and consumable managers cannot be timely due to lack of support from effective information means. It was found that; in addition, it was not very clear which supplier of high-value consumables supplied it to which ward, when, and which patient used it, and when the payment plan was made for the high-value property and when the payment was made; Finally, the contract registration of high-value consumables is incomplete. At present, contract review of high-value consumables in hospitals is not strict from use to payment.

1.2 Irregular use

Irregular use is manifested in the irregular use of personnel in some departments, unfounded quantities, and lack of a statistical platform for department use of materials, which ultimately leads to waste of materials.

1.3 "Zero inventory" material management process is cumbersome

Zero inventory management is a production management model in which enterprises implement order-based processing and production in order to pursue maximum efficiency in the use of funds. This model can also be used in hospitals to reduce hospital fund occupation, prevent losses caused by improper custody, and reduce custody risks and costs. The definition of high-value consumables control system is that any materials that require "zero inventory", such as those with high value, high storage requirements or that do not enter the warehouse (such as dental porcelain, are supplied directly to clinical sites), etc. Materials can be used as management categories for high-value consumables. The "zero inventory" process is adapted to clinical needs and is commonly used in various hospitals. The non-standardized form of "zero inventory" management is that the circulation of materials in the hospital is based on manual work, which can easily lead to wrong accounts, omissions, double accounting and other phenomena.

1.4 Improper management of embedded barcodes

There are irregularities in some embedded barcodes. For example, the barcode is replaced by a certificate, the barcode information is incomplete, the barcode cannot be recognized, and some products do not even have a barcode. The requirement that embedded barcodes must retain barcode information in case data cannot be effectively implemented.

1.5 There are many loopholes in the management process

At present, in order to enter the hospital market, suppliers of high-value consumables will operate from multiple aspects of equipment, finance and clinical operations. Most domestic hospitals have more or less management loopholes. The quality of high-value consumables cannot be guaranteed, and financial supervision is insufficient. Weaker. For example, dental porcelain is generally supplied directly to the clinic by the supplier without being reviewed by the relevant departments such as the Department of Instruments. The financial department can only passively accept payment, and there is a lack of supervision functions.

RFID smart supplies cabinet

The RFID smart consumables cabinet is an efficient smart cabinet system developed based on the above problems, specifically developed to solve the current irregularities in consumables management in the medical industry. The smart cabinet operates RFID radio frequency technology to number each type or even each consumable, automatically scan and identify consumable information, track the use process of consumables, and monitor the entire process from application, purchase, acceptance, receipt, use, and scrapping. It covers the life cycle of consumables and provides accurate data support for hospitals to effectively plan statistics and replenish supplies.

RFID smart consumable cabinet product functions:

1. Quick scanning. The RFID scanner can quickly scan RFID tags and automatically access relevant data.

2. RFID technology is not limited by product size and shape in reading, and can be applied to different products and consumables.

3. High accuracy. Each consumable is pasted with a unique RFID identification code, so there will be no operator errors.

4. The RFID is equipped with a high-definition touch screen and is easy to operate.

5. It has the function of opening all doors with one click in the background, which is convenient for administrators to use in emergencies.

6. It can monitor the usage of smart cabinets in real time, and provide feedback and query on the opening and closing status of cabinet doors.

7. Support various door opening methods, such as: WeChat code scanning, fingerprint, face, IC card, finger vein, etc.

8. The application, purchase, acceptance, receipt, use and scrapping process of each consumable can be recorded and queried in the background.

9. The RFID smart consumable cabinet can be set up with hierarchical administrators. Each management authority is different. The general management can add and delete individual administrators.
