摘要：Introduction:Almost one-third of hospital budget is spent in buying supplies including medicines. The cost and need of these medicines vary widely depending on the level of health care and the population catered. Effective and scientific drug inventory management techniques are necessary for efficient health care delivery. Objectives:To categorise the drugs based on cost and criticality aspects and identify those which require stringent managerial control. Methods: The data related to annual consumption and annual drug expenditure (ADE) incurred on each drug during the year 2012 in a primary level health care facility in Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu was collected. The drugs were categorised based on ABC, VED analysis using Microsoft Office Excel version 2007. Results :A total of 84 drugs used in the hospital were included in the analysis. The ADE on these 84 items, for the year 2012 was, Rs.3,22,697.10. ABC analysis showed, 15 items (17.9%) in Category A, 17 (20.2%) in Category B and 52 (61.9%) in Category C consumed 70.6%, 19.47% and 9.9% of the total ADE. VED analysis revealed 25 vital items (29.8%), 31 essential items (36.9%) and 28 desirable items (33.3%) consuming 29.3%, 44.2% and 26.5% of the ADE respectively. On ABC-VED matrix analysis, 42.8%, 36.9% and 20.2% items were categorised under Category I, II and III respectively accounting for 78.4%, 17.1% and 4.5% of ADE.
