    Author: Egbelu PJ, Harmonosky CM, Ventura JA, O'Brien WE, Sommer HJ.
    Journal: J Soc Health Syst; 1998; 5(4):1-10. PubMed ID: 9785293.
    Abstract:
    Integrated healthcare material management begins with manufactures of medical/surgical supplies, uses distributors and ends at the point of use at hospitals. Recent material management philosophies in the healthcare industry, such as just-in-time and stockless systems, are yet to be fully evaluated. In order to evaluate the cost effectiveness of each type of material management technique, a cost model for hospital materials management has been designed. Several case scenarios are analyzed and results are reported.
