Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of drug planning and procurement systems in hospitals, with a special focus on pharmaceutical installations. An effective drug planning and procurement system is essential to ensure the availability of the right drugs, in adequate quantities, and at the time needed. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to delve deeply into the process of planning, procurement, stock management, and distribution of drugs in hospital pharmaceutical installations. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with pharmacy staff, direct observation, and analysis of related documents. The results of the study show that despite the existence of a structured drug planning and procurement system, there are still several challenges faced, such as delays in delivery, inaccurate projections of drug needs, and limitations in information technology. The study also found that increased staff training, the use of more sophisticated information systems, and improvements in coordination between departments can improve the effectiveness of drug planning and procurement systems. The findings of this study are expected to provide insight for hospital management and policymakers in optimizing the drug procurement system to improve health services.
