The information management mechanism and related technologies in the medical system are becoming more and more mature, and the total amount of consumables in the hospital is gradually increasing. Therefore, it is very important to manage the medical equipment consumables in the hospital well. Based on this, this paper discusses the fine management of medical equipment consumables in detail. First of all, this paper summarized the problems existing in the traditional financial management and control of the medical system, and then put forward specific solutions for the shortcomings of the summary, in order to improve the quality of the refined management of medical device consumables in hospitals.展开更多
