Hospital materiel management departments are faced with the arduous task of balancing financial viability and quality patient care in the procurement of medical and surgical supplies. It is advisable for materiel managers to require hospital suppliers to submit quotations. An evaluation team composed of representatives from the nursing and medical staff, purchasing, materiel management and anestheosiology departments, will then conduct an objective evaluation of quotations. Important considerations in the product selection process include cost, labeling, safety and storage qualities.
