Construction and Practice of a Teaching System for Consumables Management in University-Affiliated Hospitals: Exploring Talent Cultivation Pathways for Value-Based Healthcare

Constructing a scientific teaching system for hospital consumables management in university-affiliated hospitals to cultivate value-based healthcare (VBHC) talents is crucial for enhancing consumables management and optimizing healthcare service quality. This paper analyzes existing issues in current consumables management education, integrates the principles of VBHC, and establishes a diversified practical teaching platform combining simulated training, supply processing and distribution (SPD) model practice bases, and data-driven decision-making exercises. It explores strategies for building this teaching system-covering teaching objectives, curriculum design, practical training, and faculty development-and demonstrates its application outcomes. A multi-dimensional evaluation and feedback mechanism centered on value contribution is also established. Preliminary practice shows that the system significantly improves trainees’ professional capabilities in whole-process cost control, clinical value assessment, and data-driven decision-making, providing an effective pathway for cultivating high-quality, value-oriented consumables management professionals.
