E-Procurement in Hospitals – An Integrated Supply Chain Management of Pharmaceutical and Medical Products by the Usage of Mobile Devices
Conference paper
Abstract
The optimization of procurement processes for medical and pharmaceutical products helps hospitals reducing costs and increasing their cost transparency, treatment quality and patient safety. However, due to the great amount of actors and interfaces taking part in procurement processes a structured methodology is required for holistic documentation and analysis. Therefore, this paper elaborates and describes the main optimization goals for procurement processes and develops methods for process analysis and the ability of a goal-targeted optimization using specialized ICT systems.
