Objective To establish a hospital admission evaluation process for predicate consumables. Methods An initial evaluation process for predicate consumables was constructed through a combination of literature review and expert consultation. Subsequently, two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted with 20 specialists to revise and refine the specific steps of the admission evaluation process. Finally, the definitive version of the process was confirmed via an expert consensus conference. Results The finalized hospital admission evaluation process for predicate consumables consisted of 14 specific steps under three core phases: equivalence evaluation, evidence collection, and comprehensive evaluation of consumables. The two rounds of Delphi expert consultation yielded effective response rates of 80% and 100%, and expert authority coefficients (Cr) of 0.86 and 0.92, respectively. In the final consensus voting, the approval rate for all steps reached 100% except for two steps, which achieved an approval rate of 95%. Conclusion The admission evaluation process established in this study is detailed, scientifically rigorous, and practically applicable, which can provide a decision-making framework for the standardized admission of predicate consumables.
