Abstract

Management of medicines in hospitals is the main work of pharmacy that ensures their efficient, effective, and sustainable use. This study aims to explore the medicine management system implemented in hospitals, with a case study on medicine management for patients with low back pain. The case study approach was used to obtain primary data through in-depth interviews with pharmacy staff and secondary data from documents related to medicine inventory. The results of the study indicate that the management of medicines for back pain faces challenges in the form of demand uncertainty, inter-unit coordination, and limitations of information technology systems. The strategies implemented include the use of the Just-In-Time method to minimize waste, regular stock monitoring, and data-based evaluation of medicine use. However, this study also found that limited human resources and budget are often the main obstacles in optimizing inventory management. Therefore, a systematic and integrated technology-based approach is needed to improve the efficiency of medicine management in hospitals, especially in handling cases of low back pain.

Abstract

Needs-based drug and medical consumables (MDCs) planning is a Zine Qua Non to ensure optimal patient care in hospitals and healthcare centers. Accurate drug and MDC planning affects the quality of medical services, the effectiveness of resource utilization, operational costs, and patient satisfaction. This research article describes the needs-based drug and MDCs planning system in hospitals. A descriptive case study was conducted at La Mappapenning Regional Hospital in Bone Regency. Data were obtained through observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with the director, pharmacists, medical personnel, and staff. The study found that needs-based planning at La Mappapenning Regional Hospital can reduce waste of drug and MDCs supplies, accelerate response times to medical needs, and increase patient and family satisfaction. Furthermore, it demonstrates the importance of using a management information system in planning drug and MDCs needs efficiently, effectively, and sustainably. This study recommends collaboration between units in handling a series of drug and MDCs management processes, training for medical personnel and administrative staff, and optimizing the use of the hospital management information system (SIMRS) to support needs-based drug and MDCs planning.
