Abstract
Pharmaceutical services are related to an optimal drug management system, where with optimal drug management, drug availability can be guaranteed and patient demands can be fulfilled. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the drug management system at the distribution stage in South Tangerang General Hospital, Indonesia, in the 2021-2022 period. Methods used based on the book by Satibi, which include suitability of drugs with drug stock cards, Turnover Ratio (TOR), drug availability, percentage of expired and damaged drugs, and the proportion of dead stock measured using the standard. The data was taken prospectively for the suitability of drugs with stock cards, and retrospectively for other indicators by looking at the stock cards of generic drugs in 2021. The results show that the indicators of drug suitability with drug stock cards and the level of drug availability are in accordance with respective standards with the value of 100% and 14.70 months. Meanwhile, the Turnover Ratio (TOR) indicator has a value of 6.24 times and the dead stock is 14.42% which does not meet the standard indicators. In this study, it can be concluded that from several indicators, the suitability of drugs with stock cards and the availability of drugs is in accordance with the standard, while the TOR value and dead stock are still not up to the standard. This means that the management system of the South Tangerang City General Hospital was not effective and can be improved to increase the TOR value and reduce dead stock.
