Abstract
The centralized procurement of drugs in the medical system is a key link, which not only affects the economic effect of institutions, but also relates to the medical quality and patient safety. In the current era, centralized drug procurement in hospitals can meet the needs of most patients; however, the specific steps of the work still need to be optimized. Starting from the level of hospital drug centralized procurement work, this paper discusses the policy background, analyzes the practice of drug centralized procurement in tertiary hospitals, and provides specific work management suggestions, aiming to improve work efficiency and serve as a reference for optimizing subsequent hospital drug centralized procurement work.
