The document discusses material management in hospitals. It defines material management as the planning, organizing, and control of supplies from initial purchase to final use. The key elements of material management are inspection, need determination, demand estimation, cataloging, quality control, standardization, inventory control, packaging, procurement, distribution, storage, scheduling, and condemnation/disposal. Effective material management ensures obtaining the right materials, of the right quality and quantity, at the right time and price from reliable suppliers. Inventory control is important to maintain optimal stock levels and deal with time lags, uncertainty, and economics of scale. Nurses play an important role in ensuring adequate, well-organized supplies are available as needed and not wasted.
