Integrated procurement processes in the hospital
The introduction of new compensation systems leads to a shortening of the patient's stay and hence to a streamlining of the supply processes in the hospital. Material management also has to adjust to the new situation and the structures that have been established over many years often have to be reconsidered. More and more clinics are being forced to streamline their supplier portfolio and assess the profitability of their entire range of products and services.
Integrated procurement processes are vital to ensure efficient material management in hospitals. Fresenius Netcare has enhanced the existing SAP R/3 functionality with the relevant programs and additional functions to ensure that all of the hospital's specific logistic requirements are met in an optimal manner. The next step in making procurement processes more efficient involves the integration of E-Procurement and Supplier Relationship Management.
The functions include:
- barcode-supported processes and workflow-based process management
- expansion of the material and supplier master data to include medical data and data that is relevant for the hospital
- master catalogs/migration tools
Ward orders
- hit lists/TOP 100
- information on materials
- OE and case-related material orders
- consumption-oriented assignment and automatic generation of purchase requisitioning
Inventory management
- stocktaking
- incoming/outgoing goods
- reservations on order picking list
- special stocks
- warehouse management/module cabinet management
- mapping of all relevant evaluation scenarios

- release and dunning procedures
- logistic auditing and WE/RE account maintenanch
- reporting using SAP information system and reports (e.g. supplier assessments)
- e-Procurement extending to Supplier Relationship Management
