| Abstract: | Due to rising costs in the Dutch healthcare system, the pressures on procurement are becoming higher. A big share of the procurement costs come from Physician Preference items. Physician preference items are medical items that physicians have strong personal preference on. The decision-making process should be carried out by the purchasing department, which receives input from physicians. However, it is still not clear what are criteria considered for purchasing PPIs. . This study will investigate what are the criteria considered when purchasing PPIs. This is a highly complex decision-making process due to the specificities of these medical items. By conducting a case study research that consisted of interviews with purchasing managers in Dutch Hospitals, it was possible to obtain insight into the criteria that should be looked at when assessing medical products and suppliers. The results show that delivery reliability, innovation, quality, cost, relationships between stakeholders and value added services are some primary factors that are considered by purchasing in healthcare. |
