摘要
背景:示踪药物是基本药物的代表,满足人群的优先卫生保健需求。通过物流管理信息系统管理示踪药物是一项促进示踪药物顺畅流动、持续提供优质卫生服务的策略。本研究评估了埃塞俄比亚东北部德西公共卫生设施中示踪药物的可用性及其后勤管理信息系统的实施情况。方法:于2017年9月15-30日在德西市所有公共卫生机构进行横断面研究。通过回顾示踪药物的物流形式并进行实物清查来收集数据。所有药房负责人和店长均采用关键信息者访谈。数据分析使用social science version 20统计软件包和Microsoft Excel 2010进行。结果:卫生机构共管理12种示踪药物。示踪药物总体平均可得性、平均持续时间和平均库存缺货频次(最近6个月)分别为74.7%、48.8天和1.43天。8个保健设施提供了后勤记录,但所有保健设施都没有使用库存卡。3 / 9使用卫生商品管理信息系统。平均77.8%的示踪药物有卡片,其中86%的示踪药物更新过。盘点与库存记录之间的差异从0%到100%不等。缺货的原因是供应不足、缺乏记录表格和使用不一致。结论与建议:示踪药的可得率低于推荐率,库存不足、可得性差和使用记录表格是导致缺货的原因。因此,卫生机构管理者和药房负责人应协调工作,确保供应不间断,并实施物流管理信息系统。
Availability of Tracer Drugs and Implementation of Their Logistic Management Information System in Public Health Facilities of Dessie, North-East Ethiopia.
Background: Tracer drugs are the representative of essential medicines and satisfy the priority healthcare needs of the population. Managing tracer drugs through logistics management information systems is a strategy to enhance their smooth flow for continuous provision of quality health service. This study assessed the availability of tracer drugs and implementation of their logistic management information system in public health facilities of Dessie, North-East Ethiopia.
Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted from September 15-30, 2017, in all public health facilities of Dessie. The data were collected by reviewing tracer drugs logistic formats and conducting physical inventory. Key informant interview was employed to all pharmacy heads and store managers. Data analysis was done using statistical package for social science version 20 and Microsoft Excel 2010.
Results: Twelve tracer drugs were managed by health facilities. The overall mean availability, mean duration, and average frequency of stock out of tracer drugs (last 6 months) were 74.7%, 48.8 days, and 1.43, respectively. In eight health facilities, logistic records were available, but all health facilities did not use stock cards. Also, 3 out of 9 used the health commodity management information system. On average, 77.8% of the tracer drugs had bin cards, of which, 86% were updated. The discrepancy between physical count and stock keeping records was ranged from 0% to 100%. The causes of stock out were inadequate supply, lack of recording forms, and their inconsistent use.
Conclusion and recommendations: The availability of tracer drugs was less than the recommended percent, and inadequate supply, poor availability and use of recording forms were the reasons for stock out. Thus, health facility managers and pharmacy heads should work in harmony to ensure uninterrupted supply and implement a logistic management information system.
