1、 Introduction
With the continuous development of medical technology, the management of operating rooms is becoming increasingly important. The management of consumables, as an important component of operating room management, directly affects the smooth progress of surgery and medical quality. The traditional manual management mode has many drawbacks, such as long time consumption, low efficiency, high error rate, and resource waste. As a new type of management tool, the intelligent consumables cabinet utilizes modern information technology to achieve intelligent management of operating room consumables. This article will focus on the application of intelligent consumables cabinets in operating room consumables borrowing and returning management, material management systems, and seamless integration with HIS medical management systems.
2、 Introduction to Intelligent Consumable Cabinet
The intelligent consumables cabinet is based on technologies such as the Internet of Things, RFID radio frequency identification, and information management, achieving intelligent storage, borrowing, inventory, and traceability management functions for operating room consumables. It has the following characteristics:
Automatic identification: Through RFID technology, consumables can be automatically identified without the need for manual registration.
Intelligent storage: Automatically allocate storage locations based on the type, specifications, frequency of use, etc. of consumables.
Borrowing and returning management: Through identity authentication, fast borrowing and returning of consumables is achieved, and the system automatically records borrowing and returning information.
Inventory management: Automatically perform consumables inventory, generate inventory reports, and improve inventory efficiency.
Material traceability: Real time monitoring of the usage of consumables to achieve full traceability of consumables.
3、 The application of intelligent consumables cabinet in the borrowing and returning management of operating room consumables
Improve borrowing and repayment efficiency
The intelligent consumables cabinet achieves fast borrowing and returning of consumables through automatic recognition technology, greatly improving the efficiency of operating room work.
Reduce manual operations
The borrowing and returning process does not require manual registration, reducing manual errors and improving management accuracy.
Real time monitoring of consumables usage
The intelligent consumables cabinet monitors the borrowing and returning records of consumables in real-time, making it easy for management personnel to understand the usage of consumables and replenish inventory in a timely manner.
Prevent loss of consumables
Effectively prevent the loss and misuse of consumables through identity authentication and real-time monitoring.
4、 Seamless integration of intelligent consumables cabinets and material management systems
information sharing
The intelligent consumables cabinet and material management system achieve information sharing, and the inventory data of consumables is updated in real-time, making it convenient for material management personnel to purchase and allocate.
Integrated management
Incorporate intelligent consumables cabinets into the material management system to achieve full process management of consumables and improve management efficiency.
Data analysis
Through the material management system, conduct in-depth analysis of consumable usage data to provide a basis for procurement decisions and reduce inventory costs.
5、 Seamless integration between intelligent consumables cabinets and HIS medical management systems
Patient information sharing
The intelligent consumables cabinet is integrated with the HIS system to achieve patient information sharing, making it easier for medical staff in the operating room to understand the patient’s situation and develop surgical plans.
Consumable cost management
By integrating with the HIS system, automatic calculation and entry of consumables usage costs can be achieved, improving the accuracy of cost management.
Postoperative traceability
The intelligent consumables cabinet records the usage of consumables during the surgical process, and is combined with the HIS system to achieve traceability and statistical analysis of postoperative consumables.
6、 Practical cases
After introducing intelligent consumables cabinets, a large hospital has achieved the following results:
Improving the efficiency of consumables management in the operating room
(1) The borrowing and returning time for consumables has been reduced from an average of 20 minutes per person per day to 5 minutes.
(2) The loss rate of consumables has been reduced from the original 3% to 0.5%.
(3) Improve inventory efficiency by 80% and reduce labor costs.
Improvement of material management efficiency
(1) Real time monitoring of consumables inventory to reduce inventory costs.
(2) Making procurement decisions more scientific and improving procurement efficiency.
HIS medical management system runs more smoothly
(1) Real time sharing of patient information improves surgical safety.
(2) Accurate management of consumables costs to reduce medical disputes.
7、 Summary
The application of intelligent consumables cabinets in operating room management has achieved intelligent and refined management of operating room consumables, improved operating room work efficiency, and reduced medical risks. Through seamless integration with material management systems and HIS medical management systems, information sharing and resource integration have been achieved, creating greater value for hospitals. With the continuous development of medical information technology, intelligent consumables cabinets will be widely used in more hospitals, helping the development of the medical industry.
