The National Product Catalogue now populates the new Common Catalogue which will be a single source of pricing and product information for the Victorian public health sector.
This single source of information will enable greater supply chain efficiencies and ultimately better patient outcomes, such as the ability to more easily replace products in short supply or those subject to recalls with functional equivalents.
HPV encourages suppliers to upload images wherever possible, to ensure products are more visible and accessible for health services through the Common Catalogue. It also helps clinicians identify the right products and reduce the number of operations cancelled due to incorrect orders.
