Description

The present invention relates to a system and method for managing medical materials such as medical supplies and medical consumables, and more particularly, enables accurate management of medical materials with a simple input operation, thereby reducing excess and deficiency of inventory. The present invention relates to a medical material management system and a management method capable of avoiding the above.

In a medical institution, if medical materials such as medicines and medical consumables (for example, infusion, syringe, suture, drape) are out of stock, there is a risk that emergency care cannot be handled. In order to avoid such a risk, in recent years, medical materials are collectively managed in in-hospital goods distribution (SPD), and constant management is performed so that a certain inventory is maintained in each operating room or ward. When the medical material is consumed by the implementation of the treatment, the type and quantity of the medical material consumed are regularly or irregularly checked, and the insufficient quantity is replenished from the in-hospital goods distribution.

Currently, medical personnel visually check such medical materials and hand-form slips, but in an emergency, medical materials are taken out without slips, or slips in the slips are filled out. May occur. If the actual usage number exceeds the usage number on the voucher and the consumption becomes excessive, in the worst case, there is a risk that the stock will be exhausted and the treatment will be affected. On the other hand, if a large number of medical materials are set in order to reduce this risk, inventory will be excessive, which not only causes pressure on floor space but also increases costs.

On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which data management by a computer is introduced in a distribution system of a medical institution to automatically manage the usage status of various medical materials (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). However, since the input work to the computer is performed on the screen, the input work is complicated and there is a possibility that an input error may occur in an emergency, and in some cases, the input work may be carried out without inputting. Therefore, there is a demand for a method of accurately managing medical materials by a simple input operation.
