Coding system is the basis of delicacy and informatization management of medical supplies, and is the link between enterprise production and clinical use. Rational construction of coding system can realize dynamic analysis of big data, guide clinical use, improve the use efficiency, and form a traceability system. Coordinating with medical security standardization work guidance, the authors analyzed the characteristics of current classification, and constructed a new medical supplies coding system by combining the clinical characteristics, price supervision, level of risk, properties of medical charge and insurance, production date and traceability, etc. This new medical supply coding system could contribute to analyzing the usage structure and strengthening price supervision, medical supplies classification and traceability management, which could be appropriate for the monitoring of the whole supply chain, from production, logistics, procurement, supplies usage, charge, medical insurance to traceability management.
