Abstract:
When urgent situations occur (e.g., inaccurate demand forecast, traffic accidents, or infectious disease outbreaks), the stock of rescue medical items in the hospital might not be enough to cater to the drastically increased demand. Comparing with placing an expensive emergent replenishment order with dealers, requesting inventory sharing from another hospital with excessive stocks could save time and cost. This paper investigates the operation of the inventory sharing mechanism between two independent hospitals with the consideration of patient behavior. We first identified the inventory decisions when hospitals are under a no-sharing scenario, and derive hospitals’ sharing policies and inventory policies under the sharing scenario. Through numerical experiments, we found that the inventory sharing option is profitable for hospitals compared to emergent replenishment. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of patient behavior, safety inventory level of the hospital, and other cost parameters on inventory decisions. Under the sharing policy, the increase of hospital j’s emergent request rate and safety inventory level increased the optimal initial inventory level of hospital i, while the increase of hospital j’s initial inventory level decreased the optimal inventory level of hospital i. This paper provides more practical suggestions for hospitals’ inventory sharing operation.

Abstract Purpose This case study describes the development and empirical validation of an easy-to-implement practical framework for improving hospital pharmacy inventory management. Summary Research suggests various inventory optimization models, which can lead to cost reductions while maintaining adequate service levels; however, they are facing limited adoption in healthcare settings. The main barriers appear to be the high effort and complexity of implementation, the dependence on data that are not available or might not be in the right form, and the one-size-fits-all approach often followed without addressing healthcare sector–specific particularities. A research framework was developed by adapting relevant inventory models to the healthcare context using the concept of data segmentation on the basis of a three-dimensional classification of hospital pharmacy inventory items based on their relative importance, clinical criticality, and consumption pattern. Suitable replenishment policies were assigned to high-impact classes, and an integrated performance-measurement component assesses the framework’s effectiveness. The suggested approach was implemented and empirically tested at the pharmacy of a large public hospital using longitudinal data. The results demonstrate substantial improvements with respect to all of the selected key performance indicators and translate into inventory cost savings due to reduced stockholding costs and better synchronization of inventories to demand. Conclusion Use of standard software functionalities combined with targeted data segmentation efforts significantly improves hospital pharmacy inventory cost performance.

Abstract:
Hospitals have always manage their supplies used during their operational activities. However, hospitals still have difficulties in raising performance of supply management to optimum standards. This occurs because hospitals still implement a manual supply recording system therefore causing supply information needed to analyse supply management to be inaccurate, time consuming, and thus bigger costs.The purpose of this study is to conduct analysis of the the current hospital inventory system and design an inventory information system. Methods used are bibliography study, analysis method and design method. Analysis method is used to formulate the hospital’s problems. Design method is used to design a new system to solve the said problems in the hospital. The aims to be achieved are reports corresponding with inventory management and medicine transaction and interface that can be used to manage the inventory and medicine transaction. Conclusion is that the new system is expected to facilitate the related party in managing inventory and medicine transaction, and also producing accurate reports.Keywords: design, inventory, pharmacy, hospital information systems

Abstract:
Health Transformation Program (HTP) of Turkey, initiated in 2003, improved access to care and quality of health care services. In 2009, HTP implemented a centralized web-based information system to manage inventories of public hospitals. Prior to the introduction of inventory management, significant medical resources were wasted because of misuse, non-use and expiration of medical supplies. The objective of inventory management was to improve the efficiency of hospitals by projecting quantities of items likely to be needed by hospitals over a three-month period. The system also allowed transfer of unneeded and surplus items from one hospital to another. This article estimated cost savings for the health care system through the inter-hospital transfer of items. The success of inventory management was evaluated by using indicators such as the value of medical commodities purchased per unit of service delivered, value of stock to purchase ratios and the value of inter-hospital transfers. Trends in purchase, storage and transfer indicate that the new web-based inventory management infrastructure helped the hospital sector to become more efficient in terms of size of stocks held and inter-temporal changes in the value of stocks. It reduced system-wide waste of medical goods and pharmaceuticals, improved effective use of commodities and reduced storage cost.

Abstract:
Health financing in Indonesia has increased from 27 US $ (2003) to 115 US $ (2017) and will continue to increase as the population increases. The JKN era is also a burden where health financing managed by BPJS is always deficit every year. Hospitals as health service providers must be able to carry out operational cost efficiency as mandated by the JKN era, namely quality control and cost control. One of the cost efficiency methods is the implementation of lean management in hospital operational processes, especially the supply chain management process (procurement, inventory control, distribution planning and demand management). This study aims to evaluate the improvement process and cost efficiency after the implementation of lean management in the supply chain management process at the hospital. This study used a single holistic case study method with the unit of analysis at the Lean team level at Panti Rapih Hospital, Yogyakarta. Research subjects are employees in the team who are directly involved in the implementation of lean management. Selection of research subjects based on purposive sampling. Total sample of 7 respondents for in-depth interview process. The research instrument used an interview guide. The result of this research is that lean management which is applied in the logistic unit of the neat orphanage hospital can reduce waste such as motion, inventory, and waiting time. In addition, another benefit that can be felt by management is increasing cost efficiency. The conclusion of this study is that lean management is recommended to be applied in health services such as hospitals.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective Timely availability of intravenous infusion pumps is critical for high-quality care delivery. Pumps are shared among hospital units, often without central management of their distribution. This study seeks to characterize unit-to-unit pump sharing and its impact on shortages, and to evaluate a system-control tool that balances inventory across all care areas, enabling increased availability of pumps. Materials and Methods A retrospective study of 3832 pumps moving in a network of 5292 radiofrequency and infrared sensors from January to November 2017 at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. We used network analysis to determine whether pump inventory in one unit was associated with inventory fluctuations in others. We used a quasi-experimental design and segmented regressions to evaluate the effect of the system-control tool on enabling safe inventory levels in all care areas. Results We found 93 care areas connected through 67,111 pump transactions and 4 discernible clusters of pump sharing. Up to 17% (95% confidence interval, 7%-27%) of a unit’s pump inventory was explained by the inventory of other units within its cluster. The network analysis supported design and deployment of a hospital-wide inventory balancing system, which resulted in a 44% (95% confidence interval, 36%-53%) increase in the number of care areas above safe inventory levels. Conclusions Network phenomena are essential inputs to hospital equipment fleet management. Consequently, benefits of improved inventory management in strategic unit(s) are capable of spreading safer inventory levels throughout the hospital.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the supply of medicines between distributors and hospitals to identify factors that may affect VMI adoption. Design/methodology/approach Two contrasting VMI initiatives involving five organizations (three hospitals, one distributor and one manufacturer/supplier) are studied. A case study method with semi-structured interviews is used with triangulation in data collection, site visits and document analysis to enhance reliability and validity. The cases are analyzed and compared with respect to hospital, supplier, product and supply chain integration characteristics. Findings A successful public sector VMI initiative and an unsuccessful private sector VMI initiative are identified. The public sector supplier focuses on improving service level while the private sector supplier seeks to strengthen relationships with a key customer. Hospital characteristics, including type of hospital, top management perspectives and the hospital’s willingness to share information, are critical in decisions on VMI initiation or termination. Relatively stable demand products are preferred for a VMI approach. Hospitals may perceive risks in VMI adoption for medicines as it involves relinquishing control of critical supplies and may result in “lock-in” with a particular supplier. Research limitations/implications The cases have been conducted in one country, which may affect generalization of the findings. Wider empirical evidence from other countries in both developed and less developed regions will be beneficial. Practical implications VMI is advocated as being beneficial in many supply contexts. However, it is challenging to implement. The study identifies factors that affect the adoption of VMI for hospital pharmaceuticals and provides guidance on initiating VMI in a hospital context. Social implications The potential for VMI in public health projects to enable greater access to critical medicines is highlighted. Originality/value The paper provides supply side and demand side perspectives on VMI adoption in an important sector. It highlights the need for greater understanding of the perceived and actual risks in VMI from the perspective of both the hospital and the supplier and for much clearer advice on which pharmaceutical products are appropriate for VMI control in a hospital context.

Abstract:
Appropriate deployment of technological innovation contributes to improvement in the quality of health care delivered, the containment of cost, and access to health care services. Hospitals have been allocating a significant portion of their resources to procuring and managing capital assets; they are continuously faced with demands for newer medical technology and are challenged to interoperate and manage legacy and newer generation of inventory simultaneously. To objectively manage this investment over it life cycle, hospitals are adopting medical technology management programs that need pertinent information and planning methodology for integrating new equipment into existing operations as well as for optimizing costs of ownership of all equipment. Clinical engineers can identify technological solutions based on the matching of new medical equipment with the hospital’s objectives. They can review their institution’s overall technological position, determine strengths and weaknesses, develop equipment-selection criteria, supervise installations, train users and monitor post procurement performance to assure meeting of goals. This program, together with cost accounting analysis, will objectively guide the capital assets decision-making process. Cost accounting analysis is a multivariate function that includes determining the amount, based upon a strategic plan and financial resources, of funding to be allocated periodically for medical equipment acquisition and replacement. Often this function works closely with clinical engineering to establish equipment’s useful lifespan, prioritization of acquisition, upgrade, and replacement of inventory within budget confines and without conducting time-consuming, individual financial capital project evaluations. The clinical engineer’s skills and expertise are needed to facilitate the adoption of an objective methodology for implementing the program, thus improving the match between the hospital’s needs and budget projections, equipment performance and cost of ownership. Systematic planning and execution will result in a program that assures appropriate inventory level at the lowest life-cycle costs at optimal performance.

Data included 40 semi‐structured interviews, site visits and examination of documents.FindingsThis study highlights the existence of a variety of collaborative arrangements amongst supply chain partners such as the “Ward Box” system (a variant of the vender managed inventory system) between wholesalers/distributors and hospitals. The materials management departments were more willing than their pharmacy counterparts to participate in a variety of partial and complete outsourcing arrangements with wholesalers/distributors and other hospitals. Several contingent factors were identified that influenced development of collaborative arrangements.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to the Australian healthcare sector. To improve generalisability, this study could be replicated in other industry sectors and countries.Practical implicationsApplication of collaborative arrangements between manufacturers and wholesalers/distributors would improve inventory management practices across the supply chains. Also, learning from materials management departments could be transferable to pharmacy departments.Originality/valueSeveral contingent variables for the implementation of collaborative inventory management arrangements between healthcare supply chain partners have been identified. Methodologically, data across three echelons in the supply chains (manufacturers, wholesalers/distributors and hospitals) were collected and analysed.

Abstract:
Drug shortage is always a critical issue of inventory management in healthcare systems since it potentially invokes several negative impacts. In supply chain management, optimization goes hand-in-hand with inventory control to address several issues of the supply, management, and use of drugs. However, it is difficult to determine a shortage situation in a hospital due to multiple unpredictable reasons, such as manufacturing problems, supply and demand issues, and raw material problems. To avoid the shortage problem in a hospital, efficient inventory management is required to operate the system in a sustainable way and maximize the profit of the organization in the Hospital Supply Chain (HSC). In this work, we study a drug refilling optimization problem, a general model for drug inventory management in a hospital. We then investigate a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) model to address this problem under an online solution that can automatically make a drug refilling decision in order to prevent a drug shortage. We further present a numerical result to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, which outperforms the baselines (e.g., over-provisioning, ski-rental, and max-min) in terms of the refilling cost and the shortage rate.

Abstract:
Pharmacy inventory management is a critical process in healthcare centers. On the one hand, effective drug procurement is fundamental for fulfilling the therapeutic requirements of patients. On the other hand, as hospital pharmacies’ purchasing and storage costs comprise an important share in the hospital budgets, efficient inventory management may play a central role in operational cost containment. Therefore, healthcare centers should design and implement decision-aid strategies for planning the purchase of drugs with the aim of avoiding excessive purchasing volumes and optimizing warehouse capacity, while also meeting forecast demand and ensuring critical stock levels. In this study, we present the methodological features of a decision-aid tool for planning the purchases and inventory levels for the controlled medication pharmacy of the Regional Hospital of Talca, Chile. We report the results obtained after 1 year of operation; these results show that our strategy produced more than 7% savings compared to the regular inventory planning strategy and was more effective in preserving critical stock levels. Furthermore, from a computational point of view, our strategy outperforms a recently published approach for a similar application.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted additional challenges with drug supply chains. A working group consisting of pharmacy management, clinical pharmacists, and pharmacy buyers met regularly at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with medical staff leadership and the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, we developed a pediatric critical drug list to track essential medications for targeted monitoring. We created an inventory model with easily modifiable input variables related to patient and hospital data. This model was aligned across affiliate health care systems to increase transparency of our hospital's surge capacity for managing patients with COVID-19. Here, we share our framework for modeling drug inventory management at a freestanding children's hospital during a global pandemic.

Abstract:
Nowadays healthcare has a completely changed scenario as compared with the early 90’s. As more and more profit generating hospitals are coming in the industry, hospital and healthcare is no longer remains a charitable or philanthropically act. So to be remain in the market and compete within hospitals need to now focus on the different and innovative strategies in every aspect. Supply chain and operations is one of the important key of any organization which directly impact on business and revenue. Vendor Managed inventory is not a new concept but it is not efficiently utilized in service and healthcare industry as of now. Some retail and automobile industries has utilized the concept and also able to reduce the inventory cost with manageable position of stock out and over stocking position. As hospital’s key functioning is to deal with life of patients on day to day so position of material need to be necessarily on right time and right place. This paper is based on the insight of the application of vendor managed inventory in the management of inventory for the IOL (Intra ocular lenses) that is used for the surgeries in the eye hospital. We will also study the questionnaire on the acceptability of the concept of vendor managed inventory in the hospital that will help to assess the acceptability of VMI in hospital and healthcare industry. Also a framework matrix is designed to understand the relation of VMI with the revenue earning and smoothening of operational efficiency.

Abstract:
Hospital reusable medical equipment (RME) includes any items that are intended to be reprocessed and reused indefinitely, including surgical instruments, dental equipment, endoscopes, and others. Such equipment represent a significant portion of a hospital's inventory costs and recently have generated significant patient cross-contamination concerns due to reprocessing cleaning failures. This paper discusses recent applications of industrial and systems engineering (ISyE) methods within healthcare organizations to help manage, understand, and improve RME processes, including quality control (QC), reliability, patient safety, facility layout, queuing networks, and inventory management models. Several examples demonstrate the value of these approaches for improved reprocessing management of RME technology.

Abstract:
The services sector contribute more than 70% of gross domestic product (GNP) almost all countries in the world, even the more advanced the countries are the more contribution the countries will give. Services inventory means that complementary service inventories, both human beings and machines, as well as goods and equipment that accompany delivery of services.Inventory models for services haven’t been specific, but basically they are almost similar to the inventory model for the product in the form of goods. The hospital are the places of business that produce services, so that the logistic of hospital is not the logistics of goods distribution, but it is only about material goods inventory management and equipment needed to produce those services. The most aplicable inventory services for hospital are the ABC classification model.

Abstract:
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation of the scores on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Ⅰ (STAI-Ⅰ), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Ⅱ (STAI-Ⅱ), Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), and Core Seven Emotions Inventory-short form (CSEI-s) scales with pain improvement. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 66 traffic accident inpatients who satisfy the selection criteria. They had received Korean medical treatment including acupuncture, electroacupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, and Chuna during hospitalization. STAI-Ⅱ, BDI, and CSEI-s scores on hospital day 1, and STAI-Ⅰ and numerical rating scale(NRS) scores on hospital day 1, 4, 7, and 10 were used for analysis. Pain improvement was evaluated by difference in NRS scores between hospital day 1 and hospital day 4, 7, 10. Results: The STAI-Ⅰ, BDI, and CSEI-s scores showed significant correlations with pain or pain improvement. Conclusions: This study may be used in the research on psychological state and pain management of traffic accident patients and for patient education. Large-scale, well-designed studies need to be conducted in future to strengthen the results in this regard.

Abstract:
Hospital supply chains are responsible for several economic inefficiencies, negative environmental impacts, and social concerns. However, a lack of research on sustainable supply chain management specific to this sector is identified. Existing studies do not analyze supply chain management practices in an integrated and detailed manner, and do not consider all sustainable performance dimensions. To address these gaps, this paper presents a systematic literature review and develops a framework for identifying the supply chain management practices that may contribute to sustainable performance in hospitals. The proposed framework is composed of 12 categories of management practices, which include strategic management and leadership, supplier management, purchasing, warehousing and inventory, transportation and distribution, information and technology, energy, water, food, hospital design, waste, and customer relationship management. On the other side, performance categories include economic, environmental, and social factors. Moreover, illustrative effects of practices on performance are discussed. The novelty of this document lies in its focus on hospital settings, as well as on its comprehensiveness regarding the operationalization of practices and performance dimensions. In addition, a future research agenda is provided, which emphasizes the need for improved research generalizability, empirical validation, integrative addressing, and deeper analysis of relationships between practices and performance.

Abstract:
Abstract Quality problem Patient care pathways should be organized according to the needs of the patients. This requires methods to assess whether the specific pathways ensure the right care for the right person at the right time and in the right setting. Initial assessment Previous investigations indicate that ~25% of the patients in Danish hospitals experience inappropriate elements in their care pathways. Choice of solution This study applied the Patient Inventory method to identify inappropriate elements in care pathways in 15 psychiatric in-patient wards in Denmark. Implementation The pathway for 201 patients was systematically evaluated by the clinical staff to identify whether the admission of the patient was avoidable, the hospitalization was unnecessarily prolonged or if the patient could receive more relevant treatment elsewhere. A subsequent meeting between the clinical staff and management qualified the assessment and identified possible solutions to problems. Evaluation A total of 54 (26.9%) of the included patients were assessed to have inappropriate elements in their care pathways, some with more than one type, resulting in a total of 65 episodes. Eight of these episodes (13.1%) were admissions considered to be avoidable, 26 (42.2%) were unnecessary prolongation of admissions, and 31 (58.1%) were patients assessed to be able to receive more relevant care elsewhere. Lessons learned One out of four assessed patients admitted to a psychiatric ward was exposed to an inappropriate element in their care pathway. The Patient Inventory tool can assist in a structured dialogue between clinical staff and management to identify focus areas for improvement efforts.

Abstract:
Hospital emergency management has evolved beyond satisfying regulatory requirements. Although tools and resources have been developed to support hospitals in emergency planning, there appears to be a scarcity of resources to guide hospital departments. To ensure that standards of care are maintained and to minimize the impact on the hospital and/or a nursing unit, Good Samaritan Hospital has developed a mobile emergency system and an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) template to assist other nursing units in their planning efforts. This article focuses on the development of emergency bedside backpacks, mobile disaster boxes, disaster documentation and forms go-kits, and guidelines for creating such a plan. The ongoing equipment testing, inventory rotation, staff training, and exercising response protocols are all crucial to test the effectiveness of the program in place. All these activities require a multidisciplinary approach to ensure integration with hospital-wide emergency planning efforts.

Abstract Historically, hospital administrators have viewed all laboratory sections as cost centers. The major expenses in the transfusion service are those associated with labor and blood products. However, few administrators take the time to look past this cost to see the impact of an active transfusion medicine section in other areas of the hospital. This article examines the impact of inventory management, blood component utilization and waste, group purchasing, and new program implementation on transfusion service expense and revenue.

Abstract:
Drug supply shortages globally make hospitals vulnerable. It effects service delivery and patient satisfaction apart from endangering lives. Further, drug sourcing to ensure supply to satisfy patients' needs is a strategic priority for any health care system in any country. Katutura hospital and Namibia is no exception. However, frequent drug shortages have created difficulty in ensuring patients get prescribed medication. Adopting a descriptive research design, pharmacists, and nurses were surveyed and 22 questionnaires were distributed out of which 21 (95%) responded in full. The main objective of this study was to identify the causes of the drug supply shortage from a supply chain perspective and suggest strategies to deal with the shortage in an optimum manner. The findings reveal supply chain disruption, management inefficiencies, are inadequate inventory management are some of the main causes for drug supply shortage resulting in difficulties and inefficiencies for proper drug delivery and supply.
