Establishment and Practice of a Standardized Medical Equipment Supplier Evaluation System

Evaluation of medical equipment suppliers, as a basis and standard of a series of activities conducted by the hospital concluding suppliers management, supervision and improvement, has played a crucial role in development of the hospital. With introduction of risk analysis into suppliers evaluation on the basis of ISO9001 standards, a standardized and reliable medical equipment supplier evaluation system has been established. As a consequence, the risk of product quality and after-sale service resulting from selection of a supplier according to previous experience is reduced.
