INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IN HOSPITAL´S MEDICAL DEPARTMENTS

Bolnišnica ima na medicinskih oddelkih organizirane zaloge zdravil in zdravstvenega materiala, da lahko nemoteno opravlja svojo dejavnost. Poslovni cilj bolnišnice je vzdrževati čim manjše zaloge, kajti večje kot so zaloge več finančnih sredstev je vezanih v njih. V diplomskem delu smo analizirali zaloge zdravil in zdravstvenega materiala oddelčnih lekarn bolnišnice. Glavna ugotovitev analize je, da bi bolnišnica lahko izboljšala upravljanje s temi zalogami predvsem, če bi uvedla informacijski sistem, ki bi omogočal vodenje porabe materiala po bolniku, uporabo črtnih kod pri prevzemih in izdajah materiala v skladiščih in na medicinskih oddelkih ter avtomatsko ugotavljanje realizacije naročil preko prevzemnic. Prav tako bi upravljanje zalog izboljšale spremembe v organizaciji dela v nabavni službi in na medicinskih oddelkih ter pravočasno pošiljanje poročil o poslovanju in poročil o porabi materiala predstojnikom oddelkov.Medical material and inventory is held in departments of the hospital in order to perform the tasks without any disturbances. The hospital’s business goal is to keep the minimum of stocks, for the bigger the stocks the bigger the investment connected to stocks. In this diploma paper we have analyzed the stocks of medical material and inventory of hospital departments’ pharmacies. The main outcome of the analysis is the following – the hospital could improve the inventory management if an information system was introduced. Such a system should be able to trace the medical material usage per patient. Bar code should be used while accepting or giving out the material in the warehouse and the hospital’s departments. And an automatic assessment of order realization should be established. Inventory management would help to improve the work organisation in the purchasing and other departments as well as sending annual reports and medical material situation reports to department heads
