Abstract:
Objective:To explore the hot spots and development direction of medical consumables research in China,and to provide reference for further improving the management of medical consumables and the quality of medical services.Methods:The academic journals with medical consumables as the subject word were searched in the database of China National Knowledge Network(CNKI)from 1 January 2014 to 20 December 2023.A total of 2,656 related literatures were retrieved,and 1,865 research literatures were finally included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.CiteSpace literature analysis software was used to analyze the number of publications,research institutions,high-frequency keywords and keyword emergence of 1,865 selected literatures.Results:The overall number of publications in the field of medical consumables in China showed an overall upward trend from 2014 to 2023,and the relevant literature research reached a peak from 2019 to 2022,with the annual publication volume maintained at around 250.The topics related to informatization,cost control,rational use,and volume-based procurement of medical consumables were the focus of attention.Conclusion:It is necessary to continue to explore the cost control of medical consumables,especially low-value non-chargeable consumables,and be good at using scientific methods such as health technology evaluation to build an evaluation system for rational use of medical consumables.The research on volume-based procurement has been a hot topic recently,and may continue to lead the research trend in the future,and the supervision of the use of volume-based procurement is the top priority of subsequent medical consumables management and research.
