As a methodological tool, evidence-based management can assess the technological advantages and economical value of medical consumables scientifically, and select the most cost-effective products into the hospital access directory with guarantees of the development of clinical disciplines. Now this method has been widely used for consumable access management in our hospital. Policies and processes have been established to normalize the assess, allocation, and usage, and the management mode is transformed from experience-based management into evidence-based management. With clinical nominalism being changed, the method of evidence-based management can be used for every link of comsumble management, to reduce the costs and ensure the safety and quality of medical consumables at the same time, so as to promote the rational cost of medical consumables.
ObjectivesTo explore classification management method of evidence-based evidence for medical consumables based on cost multiplication and to conduct empirical test.MethodsFour quadrants was used to explore the classification management of consumables evidence.Results95.22% of the “recommended” items in the consumables department were “recommended” by the group. 100% of group “recommended” items passed the committee resolution. Advice of consumables department and group was highly relevant with decision of commission.ConclusionsOne-dimensional recommendations allow the decision-making of group and committee to be more convenient. Cost calculation is based on all consumables required for medical treatment, which is similar to reality. The classification threshold requires further optimization, and the classification basis requires continual adjustment under different conditions of hospital. The evidence-based evidence evaluation method for medical consumables based on incremental cost ratio is a simple and rapid hospital health technology assessment method suitable for China’s national conditions.
