COVID-19防疫物資儲備及管理專案──以南部某醫學中心經驗

Management of COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment Reserves at a Medical Center in Southern Taiwan

因應新型冠狀病毒COVID-19疫情衝擊下，對於防疫物資的需求日增，藉著建置有效防疫物資儲備及供貨管理系統，以降低疫情對醫療防疫物資之衝擊、維護民眾健康並穩定員工對醫院信心。以南部某醫學中心為例，在防疫物資之儲備目的、內容與執行成效，達成第一線醫療照護人員及員工防疫物資供給不虞匱乏、醫療不中斷持續性運作、安定醫護人員對醫院信心及建立未來醫療機構緊急採購模式，也展現此次抗疫成功重要的關鍵因素。

Following the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the demand for personal protective equipment increased daily. By establishing an efficient reserve management and supply control system for personal protective equipment, we minimized the influence of this impact on the equipment reserve, protected hospital visitors, and strengthened the confidence and trust of hospital staff. Herein, we use a medical center in Southern Taiwan as an example to illustrate how we monitored and maintained the equipment reserve; this case study also indicates the outcomes of this system. By using such a system, frontline healthcare workers and hospital staff were reassured about the supply of personal protective equipment and that all medical treatments could thus remain fully functional and continuously well-operated. We also established a standard procedure for urgent procurement. Overall, this system was a key element in this medical center’s successful response to the epidemic.
