ABSTRACT: With the promotion of high-quality development of public hospitals and DRG payment reform, medical cost control has become the key to hospital management [1]. This paper focuses on the management of low-value non-medical consumables (e.g., office supplies, cleaning consumables, general instruments, etc.) in public hospitals, and proposes a data-driven whole-process refined management model. By constructing a three-level classification and coding system, dynamic consumption quota standard and ABC classification method [2], combined with the application of intelligent support platform, the whole chain digital management from procurement, storage, use to write-off is realized. It has been proved that this model effectively improves the efficiency of hospital resource use, reduces the hidden waste of low-value consumables, optimizes procurement and inventory management, and provides a replicable paradigm for low-value consumable management in public hospitals. This study further validates the universality of fine management in medical resource optimization and provides empirical evidence for policy makers.
