Index of Rationality 1 and 2 The Index of Rationality for the second group of products (second quarterly report) was developed by means of comparing purchase prices paid for medical disposables used in the health care sector. In order to provide a better overview of the state of affairs in this sector, the Index was developed for six types of products, those being:- transfusion kits;- infusion kits;- syringes;- cotton wads;- cotton patches; and- calico bandages. These products were selected because they are considered to be the most frequently used disposables by all health care centres, hospitals and clinics. The ultimate goal was to determine whether unified prices were obtained from the suppliers or there are price deviations, given the fact that these materials are used on day-to-day basis and are therefore frequently purchased. Information related to prices paid were obtained by means of Freedom of Information (FOI) applications, submitted to all contracting authorities in the health care sector and registered in the Electronic Public Procurement System (EPPS).
