... It has been a method for understanding drug use in many countries for a long time. ABC analysis groups drugs into categories based on their relative importance according to the Pareto principle (Nguyen et al., 2022). used for minor illnesses or diseases that are cured independently (Deressa et al., 2022). ...
Background: Drug inventory in hospitals must be maintained appropriately and effectively to promote affordability and sustainable drug availability. Objective: To analyse the drug use profile in the neurology department with ABC-VEN. Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted with prescription samples of outpatient drugs in the Neurology Department at Airlangga University Hospital, Indonesia, from January to March 2020. An analysis of ABC-VEN was performed. Results: From 1,993 prescription samples, the total types of drugs used were 131. The ABC analysis based on the drug use value and investment value found that 16 vs. 6, 16 vs. 10, and 99 vs. 115 types of drugs belonged to the A, B, and C categories, respectively. VEN analysis showed that Group V had 16 types of drugs, Group E had 69 types of drugs, and Group N had 46 types of drugs. ABC-VEN analysis showed that Category I contained 18 types of drugs, Category II contained 68 types of drugs, and Category III contained 45 types of drugs. Conclusion: There was a discrepancy between the results of the ABC analysis based on the value of drug use, investment value, and the VEN. Using the ABC-VEN analysis helps improve pharmacy management.
... For more effective management of services in the pharmacy, there is a need for timely supply of medicines, and the described method allows predicting the supply according to the just-in-time system. The authors of paper [9] prove the relevance of pharmaceutical inventory management using ABC-VED analysis as a practical and affordable method of optimizing the supply chain. ...
... Also, a study of cooperation between a supplier of pharmaceuticals and a retailer is provided, which is substantiated in works [12,13]. Methods of analysis, as ABC-VED described in works [8][9][10][11], ECR method [14] and cross-category analysis [19,20] are taken into account in component "A" of the "MARS Category Management Profile". ...
... Different from previous studies [9,10,15,17,19,20] is that the described factors of category management are structured for the study of pharmacy retail. They allow us not only to assess the real state of the enterprise but also develop an optimal plan for its future development, taking into account the tools of a comprehensive approach, and not just individual areas of categorical management. ...
The object of this study is the growing interest of the target audience in the introduction of category management tools to the business processes of pharmacy retail. In pharmaceutical practice, the methodical toolkit for the study of the category management system is not sufficiently widely presented. That is why, using the theoretical and methodological basis and conceptual principles of product category management, the evaluation methodology of the MARS Category Management Profile was devised. The purpose of the work is to introduce new approaches to the formation and management of the pharmacy assortment based on the concept of category management and to determine ways to increase the level of efficiency of its work. As a result of the research, the quantitative value of the existing and optimal result of category management in the network of pharmacies was determined. The calculations show that in the current state the goal orientation is 36 points, and in the optimal state this characteristic will be equal to 27 points, while the analysis orientation is 21 and 28 points, respectively. It has been established that categorical management is focused precisely on the analysis and adherence to research tools, and not on the uncontrolled achievement of the goal. The proposed organizational model of functional interaction of specialists in pharmacy retail could ensure the implementation of principles and the performance of complex tasks facing the category manager. The described components of the MARS category management profile will be used in practice to improve approaches to planning, information and analytical support, and control over the main management processes of the enterprise under study. This could avoid disagreements between management and medical specialists
... Tek başına ABC, VED analizi yapmanın sınırlamaları vardır. ABC analizi malzemelerin kritikliğini göz ardı eder ve tek başına VED analizi de malzemelerin maliyet değerini göz ardı eder (Nguyen, Dang, Nguyen, My, & Vo, 2022). Bu nedenle, iki yöntemin tamamlayıcı faydalarından yararlanmak için, sıkı kontrol gerektiren ürünleri belirlemek için ABC-VED matris analizi gereklidir (Deressa, Beressa, & Jemal, 2022). ...
Sağlık kuruluşları, kaynaklarının kullanımını optimize etmeyi, üretkenliği artırmayı, işletme giderlerini en aza indirmeyi ve olağanüstü kalitede hizmetler sunmayı amaçlar. Sağlık kuruluşları tıbbi sarf malzemelerinin tedariki, depolanması ve kontrolü ile ilgili önemli masraflarla karşı karşıyadır. Sağlık geri ödeme sistemi kapsamında olmayan bu ürünlerin satın alma, elde bulundurma ve dağıtma maliyetleri önemli olabilir. Bu nedenle, tıbbi sarf malzemelerin kullanıcılar için hazır, uygun maliyette ve en uygun durumda olmasını sağlamak için verimli yönetim uygulamalarının uygulanması çok önemlidir. Sağlık kuruluşlarında kaliteli bakım ve maliyet azaltma arayışları, etkin envanter yönetimini hedefleyerek ve envanter yönetimi uygulamalarını optimize ederek, kaynakların kullanımda verimliliği artırabilir ve nihayetinde sağlık hizmetlerinin karşılanabilirliğini ve erişilebilirliğini geliştirebilir. Bu çalışmada, hastaneler için daha etkili bir envanter yönetim sistemi sağlayarak, tıbbi sarf malzeme stokunun sınıflandırılmasına yardımcı olacak birden çok kriteri göz önünde bulunduran ABC-VED-SED matris analizi önerilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı ABC-VED-SED yöntemleri kullanılarak tıbbi sarf malzemelere yapılan yıllık harcamaları değerlendirerek hastanede stok maliyetlerinin optimum seviyesi elde etmektir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, "AVS", "AVD", ve "AVE grupları toplam envanter değerinin büyük bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır ve bu gruplardaki malzemelerin yönetimi için öncelikli olarak sıkı bir kontrol sağlanmalıdır. Sonuç olarak sağlık hizmetlerinde birden farklı kriteri göz önünde bulunduran envanter yönetimi araçlarının düzenli olarak uygulanması, sınırlı kaynakları verimli bir şekilde yönetmek ve ihtiyatlı kaynak kullanımı yoluyla daha iyi hasta bakımına öncülük etmek için esastır.
... Different inventory management techniques are used for pharmaceutical expenditure analysis [13]. Among inventory control techniques used, we may enumerate ABC, VEN, FSN, HML, SOS, and ABC-VEN [14]. Among those techniques, ABC-VEN analysis is often preferred since it contributes to analyzing the medicines expenditures based on public health value and cost [12,15]. ...
... In fact, conducting ABC or VEN analysis alone has its limitations. ABC analysis ignores the criticality of medicines, and VEN analysis alone also ignores the cost value of pharmaceuticals [14]. Therefore, to take advantage of the complementary benefits of the two methods, ABC-VEN matrix analysis is required to identify products that need strict control [4,14]. ...

Background
Pharmaceuticals account for a large portion of healthcare spending in healthcare organizations. Their effective inventory management is required to match the cost of stocks with the customer demand and avoid shortage of supplies at any health facility level. This study aimed to analyze pharmaceuticals' inventory management using ABC-VEN analysis.
Methods
The study was conducted at Rwanda Medical Supply (RMS) Ltd, Nyamagabe Branch for products distributed to health facilities in Nyamagabe District catchment area from the financial years 2017–2018 to 2019–2020. It consisted of a descriptive retrospective study of 457 items. The latter are generic essential medicines distributed to public health facilities during the study period. Products were arranged according to a descending order of importance, and we performed a breakdown of products according to the Pareto Principle. Following an ABC analysis of distribution data for such drugs billed to healthcare facilities, a VEN analysis was performed to identify high-value vital products that require more attention.
Results
During the ABC analysis, 76 products were classified in group A. These accounted for 19.84% and had a value of 74.91% of the total cost of all products. Group B included 116 products, representing 30.29% with a value of 20% of the total cost, while Group C had 191 products, representing 49.87% with a value of only 5.09% of the total cost. During the VEN analysis, 202 products (44.20%) were classified as vital, 231 (50.54%) as essential, and 24 products (75.26%) as non-vital. The analysis with ABC-VEN resulted in Class I representing 55.80% of all medicines that cost 87.88% of all total cost, Class II representing 40.70% with a total cost of 11.82%, and Class III representing 3.50% with a cost of 0.3%.
Conclusions
This study results show that inventory management of vital and expensive products, such as antibiotics, antihypertensive pharmaceuticals, consumables, and massive solutions would be carefully monitored to prevent a shortage of such products at health facility levels. The ABC-VEN analysis is one of the practical and affordable method to achieve their optimized supply chain.
... Psoriasis treatment regimens are extremely diverse: monotherapy, combination regimens, cyclic therapies, or level reduction therapies. As a consequence, the treatment costs of psoriasis are higher than other diseases having patients disclaim the treatment (3,(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). For these reasons, our study was done between 2019 and 2021 by collecting data on practice and certain parameters related to medication use and psoriasis treatment expenses at Can Tho dermatology hospital (CTDH), Vietnam. ...
Introduction:
Psoriasis is a persistent, chronic, inflammatory cutaneous disorder that recurs frequently and has negative impacts on the living quality of sufferers.
Methods:
Data from the Inpatient and Outpatient Department medical records at Can Tho dermatology hospital were used to generate a descriptive statistics report on medicines and medical costs for psoriasis therapy in 2019-2021.
Results:
The average number of prescription medications varied annually, averaging roughly 0.62±85.4% per prescription. Corticosteroids and calcipotriol were the most commonly recommended drugs for psoriasis. Antihistamines were the most often used medication, with over 12,000 instances among the 28,397 individuals studied. The peak in average per-treatment expenses occurred in 2021 when they fluctuated between US $120 and US $160. In contrast, examination expenses were the most costly, ranging from US $93-$107.
Conclusion:
The bulk of psoriasis therapy treatments were topical agents, whose quantities rose progressively. Direct examination expenses accounted for the greatest proportion.
