The procurement of medical devices is a central component of medical care in hospitals, practices, and care facilities. It encompasses the purchasing and provision of all products required for diagnosis, therapy, care, and rehabilitation – from simple consumables like bandages and cannulas to complex devices such as ultrasound or ventilation systems. Efficient and reliable procurement not only ensures the constant availability of needed items but also significantly contributes to the quality and safety of patient care. Aspects such as product quality, approval according to applicable legal requirements (e.g., MDR – Medical Device Regulation), delivery reliability, price-performance ratio, and sustainability play an important role here. Modern procurement processes increasingly rely on digital solutions, automated inventory management, and strategic partnerships with suppliers to optimize workflows and reduce costs. Well-conceived medical device procurement is therefore not only a logistical challenge but a decisive factor for success and performance in healthcare.
