Hebei: Special Consumables Remediation in 2018 | Check Prices

Medical Network April 23 hearing medical supplies special rectification is still in the ascendant. The Hebei Weiwei Planning Committee issued a document that will focus on the 2018 annual remediation focus on information disclosure of consumables, which is the price of medical supplies. Especially to strengthen high-value medical supplies, especially planting intervention Consumables price supervision.

On April 18, the Office of the Hebei Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission issued the “Key points for the reform of the health and family planning system in the entire province in 2018”, which included the issue of medical consumables violations as a key issue, deepened the 'special rectification' of last year, and proposed that it The wind'.

In the field of medical consumables, the specific need to correct is that the organization conducts special inspections on the information disclosure of medical consumables, supervises the medical institutions to disclose the prices of major medical consumables, provides relevant fee inquiry services to patients, and strengthens high-value medical consumables, especially for implant-related medical consumables. Supervision of prices.

It can be seen that the 'transparency' of information on medical consumables will be the bulk of this year's supervision in Hebei Province, and it will continue to beat the consumables' price.

Since the 11th ministry jointly issued the "Special Campaign for Medical Consumables Rehabilitation Program" on July 11 last year, the provinces have begun to implement intensive care and remediation of medical consumables, covering the production of medical consumables throughout the country. enterprise , Various types of medical institutions at all levels. Require short-term results, long-term mechanism.

This requirement is specific to the implementation of the performance. In November last year, a certain city in Tangshan City hospital The special remediation plan for the hospital was issued, the key points for rectification and the division of responsibilities were clarified, and various departments signed the responsibility letter one after another.

At the same time, the hospital also conducted a comprehensive clean-up and rectification of the purchase, use and management of medical consumables, especially high-value medical consumables, from January 1, 2017 to October 31, 2017 within the hospital.

After seeing “short-term results, effective implementation of the plan,” the Hebei Weiwei Planning Commission has included publicly available information on medical consumables prices as a focus of rectification work.

According to the opinion of the industry insiders who are familiar with the field of medical consumables, the degree of transparency of consumables prices can be said to be 'chaotic'. There are even arguments for 'repairing medicine'.

A very intuitive phenomenon is that medicines are visibly tangible to patients, and price comparisons can be made. Information on equipment and consumables is not known to patients.

Because of the opaque information, it is very easy to cause the market price of medical consumables to be inconsistent.

health The newspaper reported in the report that the medical supplies in the same brand with the same specification and the same product with different brands had very large price gaps in different regions and even in the same region.

For example, a kyphoplasty system produced by a company in Shanghai, concentrated in Ningbo purchase The price is RMB 6,450/set, but it is up to RMB 22,000/set in other provinces (cities); the hemostatic gauze surgical gauze produced by a certain company in Yunnan is of the same specification, and the centralized purchase price in Ningbo is RMB 285/piece, in other provinces and cities. Up to 500 yuan ~ 900 yuan / piece.

Because the information in the field of medical consumables is less transparent, it is easy to breed a grey interest space. Procurement experts in the field of medical consumables say that the 'water' in the field of medical consumables is very deep, some high-value medical consumables that are expensive to sell, and the price and cost The gap between them breeds a lot of improper interests and even corruption.

In the past two years, these corruption have appeared in the People's Procuratorate's case disclosure network, which has reached as many as hundreds. It was not the department director who was registered for investigation, that is, the chief was investigated for bribery.

However, some industry insiders who declined to be named once disclosed to the media that the hospital was only working for consumables suppliers. He said that the high profits of medical consumables have been basically 'empty' in circulation.

The Health News Network reported last year that a survey conducted on three top-three hospitals in a city in the eastern part of the country showed that in 2012, the purchase expenses of medical consumables in the top three hospitals were as high as RMB 198 million, RMB 159 million and RMB 163 million respectively, but the average The difference between purchase and sales is only 4.5 million yuan, and the average profit margin is only 2.53%.

In this case, the special inspection of the price information disclosure of medical consumables is particularly important. In particular, it can be used to fill the price gap caused by the lack of information for high-value consumables.

It can be seen that the Hebei Weiwei Planning Commission focused on the above two major problems in the field of medical consumables this year. It continues to tap loopholes in the transparency of supply information disclosure and the price of consumables that people do not know about.

In addition, the above mentioned “Reconciliation Work Points” of Hebei Province in 2018 includes the following two points:

Organize routine inspections and rectify the 'red envelope' and 'rebate' problems. Based on self-examination and self-correction by various localities and units, we will focus on supervising the outstanding issues such as 'red envelopes' and 'rebates' received by medical personnel who are strongly responding to the masses. Conduct routine inspections by conducting unannounced visits and investigations, tracking questions, and resolutely eliminating acceptance of 'red envelopes' and 'rebates'.

Strengthen key supervision, and rectify illegal charges and income-related problems. The organization conducts key inspections on non-compliance fees and income-related income of medical institutions at all levels to see if there is a self-supporting project, decomposes the project fees or arbitrarily raises standards plus charges, and repeats charges; Whether or not to report income-generating targets to departments or individuals, whether to include medical staff’s bonuses, salaries, etc. drug , Medical check-ups and other business income are linked.
