Abstract
The reason why medical logistics cost remains high is a system problem, this paper analyzes the system through the ISM model. The result presents that medical logistics cost factors have four levels of relationship, primary factor is the national policies, secondary factors are the talent construction and pharmaceutical enterprise scale, Intermediate factors are medical information management system and inventory cost, the key factors are transportation cost and distribution center location. Finally, according to the four levels of relationship, this paper put forward specific suggestions to reduce logistics cost.
Highlights
With the progress of science and application of online intelligence platform, social logistics cost gradually decreases, because of medical logistics has the characteristic of highly professional, high degree of complexity, strong timeliness and high security, the medical logistics cost still remains high
We find that the papers about reducing medical logistics cost focus on constructing online information sharing platform, improving the efficiency and establishing third party pharmaceutical logistics enterprises
This paper identifies the important factors through literature research and expert consultation and analysis the medical logistics cost factor from primary to secondary, puts forward effective and reasonable suggestions
Summary
With the progress of science and application of online intelligence platform, social logistics cost gradually decreases, because of medical logistics has the characteristic of highly professional, high degree of complexity, strong timeliness and high security, the medical logistics cost still remains high. Wei Hua [4](2015) points out the construction of medical logistics information sharing platform has the positive effect to reduce the cost of medical logistics, and he proposes a modern medical logistics sharing information platform based on automatic recognition technology. These documents analysis and put forward recommendations just from one simple perspective. This paper identifies the important factors through literature research and expert consultation and analysis the medical logistics cost factor from primary to secondary, puts forward effective and reasonable suggestions. Through the analysis of the literature and Delphi method, this paper identify 7 main factors as follows
