Recent trends in hospital stores management include automated stores, stockless purchasing, networking, e-commerce, internet tendering, canalization, and MUSIC-3D. Automated stores use computerized and mechanized systems for efficient storage and inventory management. Stockless purchasing involves direct delivery from suppliers to departments without going through central stores. Networking allows information sharing within and between hospitals via local and wide area networks. E-commerce and internet tendering facilitate online global procurement and dissemination of tender information. Canalization enables bulk purchasing of medical equipment from foreign countries.
