    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Supply Chain Management
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Repeat purchases of stocked and nonstocked items represent significant hospital expenditures.
    • Routine purchasing processes often overlook contract compliance and pricing accuracy.
    • Inefficiencies in procurement lead to suboptimal utilization of purchasing contracts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a coding system for tracking hospital item usage and contract status.
    • To enable identification of high-usage items suitable for new contracts.
    • To ensure hospitals maximize benefits from existing purchasing agreements and control costs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a straightforward coding system.
    • The system integrates data on item usage volumes and contract adherence.
    • The system is designed for easy interpretation and broad hospital user adoption.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed coding system effectively flags high-usage items for strategic contracting.
    • It ensures that contracted prices are consistently applied, maximizing savings.
    • The system facilitates informed alternative product selection for enhanced cost control.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple, interpretable coding system can significantly improve hospital procurement efficiency.
    • Implementation ensures better contract management and greater financial benefits.
    • This approach supports proactive cost management through informed product selection.
