Materiel management: time for a new beginning.

Industry forecasters have predicted that most hospitals will belong to a multi-hospital system or an alliance by the end of this decade or they will simply disappear. This will concomitantly expand and contract the role of materiel managers, while creating new challenges for them in free-standing hospitals or in a multi-hospital system environment. What should materiel management's role be in this new arena? What functions or activities should materiel management be responsible for functionally or administratively? How should a hospital or multi-hospital system's materiel management department be organized to meet this new challenge? What relationship should evolve between hospital divisions and the system's materiel management department? Who should control the purchasing, inventories, and distribution for hospital divisions? What functions should be centralized and what should be decentralized? The answers to these questions will be discussed in this article.

How to manage hospital records.

It has been documented that hospitals with records retention programs have 55 percent less records, spend less time on record maintenance and retrieval of records and can find records on demand when requested. This all adds up to savings in time and space and improved quality in an age when these commodities are precious resources. No other industry that I can think of has as its mainstay the need for good quality records as hospitals do. Don't pass up this opportunity to manage your records as carefully as you have been managing your other resources: money, manpower and materiel.
