Abstract
Management, Planning,
Organizing, Directing,
Supervision
This study aims to determine and analyze the Management of Drug Logistics Services
at the Pharmaceutical Installation of Undata Palu Regional Public Hospital (RSUD). The
theory used in this study is Siagian's theory which suggests that management is an
activity of planning, organizing, directing and supervising carried out by each
organization coordinating various data sources owned to achieve the goals set effectively
and efficiently. This research method uses qualitative research that produces descriptive
data through in-depth interviews in the form of written or oral statements of people and
their observable actions. The location of this research is at the pharmaceutical installation
of Undata Palu Regional Public Hospital. There were 5 informants selected using
purposive methods. Data collection is carried out by interviews, observation, and
documentation. Based on the results of the analyzed research in accordance with the
management function ranging from planning, organizing, directing and supervising, at
the planning stage in terms of procurement, storage and distribution of drugs has not
gone well. Procurement of drugs in delivery takes 2-3 weeks, It is due to the expedition
route from outside the city of Palu. This results in drug vacancies, consequently patient
prescriptions are not served. Drug storage has not been maximized with less large
warehouse space. The distribution of drugs has not been maximized seen from the empty
drug stock. Organizing has been done effectively with human resources as expected. The
direction is carried out by the head of the pharmaceutical installation who coordinates
with the supporting fields in directing employees to work properly. Supervision is carried
out through internal meetings and quarterly meetings that discuss performance reporting,
achievements and constraints that occur in the field by coordinating with supporting
fields.

1. Introduction
Towards a healthy Indonesia 2025 is a health development goal in increasing awareness, hope, and advantages
of healthy living for all people so as to achieve an increase in the degree of public health. The creation of a society
that lives morally in a healthy environment, is entitled to good, balanced, comprehensive health services, and has the
highest level of health in the world. I Territory of the Republic of Indonesia (Ministry of Health of the Republic of
Indonesia, 2009).
Health efforts in supporting and improving health aimed at realizing good health conditions for the
community. Health efforts are carried out through methods of health promotion (promotion), prevention (prevention),
treatment (treatment) and recovery (rehabilitation), which are carried out comprehensively, integrated, affordable and
sustainable. The concept of unity of health efforts is a guideline for health institutions in Indonesia, one of which is
hospitals. The hospital is a health service referral with the main function in healing and recovery. (Bramantoro, 2017)
Health services in hospitals are in the form of outpatient unit services, inpatient, emergency room and medical
services and medical support services. One of the medical support services is pharmaceutical services that have been
regulated in the Indonesian Constitution Number 44 of 2009 concerning Hospitals. Pharmaceutical services have been
regulated in PERMENKES Number 58 of 2014 concerning Pharmaceutical Service Standards. Pharmaceutical
installations are an important sector in the main health services of hospitals. Hospitals cannot work properly if the
hospital does not have medicine. Pharmaceutical installations have a major impact on hospitals and various other
healthcare organizations. (Permenkes No. 58 of 2014)
Pharmaceutical services are supporting services that provide (revenue center) revenue center for hospitals,
seeing that more than 90% of health services in hospitals use pharmaceutical supplies ranging from drugs, chemicals,
radiology materials, medical devices consumables, medical devices, and medical gases. 50% of all hospital income
comes from pharmaceutical supply management (Satrianegara et al., 2018)
Drug management in hospitals is very important because more than 90% of medical services in hospitals use
drugs, so the availability of drugs is a very important indicator. Drug vacancies, running out of drugs or stacking drug
storage can affect economically and medically, so it requires good effective and efficient drug management (Satibi,
2016).
Based on initial observations that the management of drug services at the Undata Palu General IFRS has not
been optimal. Starting from the planning, from the aspects of procurement, receiving, storing, distributing, eliminating,
and evaluating. Planning for drug needs every year has not been carried out effectively according to the available
budget. Drug procurement has not been carried out efficiently because there are still problems regarding delayed or
empty drug availability stocks at pharmaceutical service depots. This causes there are still patients who have to
postpone giving their drugs and have to buy drugs to outside pharmacies, as a result prescriptions are not served and
there are still many drugs needed by patients are not available so that it seems that the hospital is not able to carry out
drug management properly so that it has an impact on the delay in patient first aid, so that the level of patient trust in
hospital services is reduced (Terry, 2010).
From the problems mentioned above, siagian theory can be used in studying existing problems. Siagian (2009)
suggests that management is an activity of planning, organizing, directing, and supervising carried out by each
organization coordinating various resources owned to achieve the goals set effectively and efficiently. Until the author
is interested in raising the title "Management of Drug Logistics Services at Regional General IFRS (RSUD) Undata
Palu (Siagian, 2003).
2. Materials and Methods
This research was used to gain a deeper understanding of drug logistics service management in hospitals at
Undata Hospital Palu. This study uses qualitative research that produces descriptive data through in-depth interviews
in the form of written or oral statements of people and their observable actions. The informants in this study are:

The data collection process is the most important process in research because the main purpose of research is
to obtain data. A data source is anything that can provide information about related research. The data used in this
study used two types of data sources, namely: primary data and secondary data (Lexy, 2007).
The data analysis technique in qualitative research is the data analysis of the Miles and Huberman model.
According to Miles and Huberman (Sugiyono, 2018) stated that, "Activities in qualitative data analysis are carried out
interactively and take place continuously until complete". Data analysis techniques used by the study using the Miles
and Huberman model: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification.
This research refers to the theory of Siagian (2009), which explains that the management function is planning,
organizing, directing and supervising, then the conceptual definition of this research is the implementation of drug
logistics service management at the pharmaceutical installation of Undata Palu Hospital which includes planning,
organizing, directing and supervising (Siagian, 2003).
3. Results and Discussions
Pharmaceutical services in hospitals have been regulated in PERMENKES Number 72 of 2016 concerning
Pharmaceutical Service Standards in Rumah Sakit. Pharmaceutical installations are an important part of the hospital
sector. Hospitals will find it difficult to carry out activities if drugs are not available in the hospital. The management
of drug services was carried out at the Faramasi installation of Undata Hospital Palu as explained by Siagian (2009),
who explained that the management function is planning, organizing, directing and supervising.
1. Planning
Planning is a process that involves various kinds of efforts made to anticipate future or future trends and
determine the right strategy to realize the targets and goals of the organization or institution. Planning carried out at
the Pharmaceutical Installation of Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province, is usually carried out planning starting
from the source of funds, human resources, obstacles faced and what steps must be taken. Drug and medical equipment
and consumables (BMHP) planning is made in the annual Requirement Proposal which will be used for the next year's
drug expenditure budget. The next year's drug needs must be based on the Hospital formulary and have been calculated
based on the Drug Needs considered from consumption patterns, memorability patterns and pharmaceutical supplies
that are still available and approved funds. (listed in the list of work unit budgets/DASK).
The informant named Bahria Ridwan, SKM. S.FT., M.A.P as Head of Medical Support stated:
"So the drug planning process at pharmaceutical installations has been made 1 year before the current year,
for example, drugs for 2023 mean that planning activities have been budgeted from 2022, usually at the beginning of
the year activities have started for spending from proposed needs every month." (interview, November 21, 2022).
The results of the interview proved that drug planning had been carried out at Undata Hospital Palu before an
order was made which was taken from the proposal for annual needs given by the Head of Pharmacy installation.
Planning from the aspects of procurement, restoration, storage, distribution, and deletion is very important. This is
needed to overcome in finding obstacles that hinder the implementation of the planned program.
The informant named Yunus Tobing, S.Si, Apt as Head of Pharmaceutical Installation stated:
"For planning for 1-year drug needs recorded, recapitulated based on the needs of each service unit or depot,
both doctors and other health workers" (interview, December 12, 2022)
The results of the interview conducted with the Head of Pharmaceutical Installation of Undata Hospital Palu
are that it is true that drug planning will be carried out 1 year before the procurement process takes place. Planning
based on the needs of each service unit.
Determine the amount of drug needed based on field needs.
The informant named Yunus Tobing, S.Si, Apt as Head of Pharmaceutical Installation stated:
"In determining the number of drug needs, it is based on the last drug stock, then based on the analysis system
by adjusting the number of patients. The number of patients treated is recorded recapitulative and determines the need
for drugs in the disease the most. From the number of doctor's prescriptions and how many drugs are often used, I as
the head of the installation will propose to the Kabid as a knowing person to proceed to PPTK to continue ordering"
(interview, December 12, 2022)
The results of the interview proved that the determination of the amount of drugs was based on the last drug
stock and the amount of drug use according to a doctor's prescription.

IJEBSS Vol. 1 No. 06, July-August 2023, pages: 673-681
The results of interviews conducted with informants, that planning is very important in determining the
amount of drug availability according to patient diagnoses, in the planning process it is necessary to have cooperation
from doctors and pharmaceutical depots in hospitals in the process of service management in pharmacies if in the
planning process there is an error it will cause problems that will be faced later where there will be drug vacancies in
pharmaceutical depots (Ketaren et al., 2023).
2. Procurement
The realization of the implementation of drug procurement and BMHP needed by hospitals is carried out by
the technical implementation committee of activities (PPTK) in coordination with IFRS and service units. PPTK
procures goods in accordance with the plans and requests from IFRS.
The logistics officer makes proposals for pharmaceutical needs according to the use and demand for
pharmaceutical needs from satellites, pavilions, poly, and other units by considering the existing hospital fomularium
and recording in the pharmacy briefing book. PPTK conducts procurement in accordance with the plan or request
needed. At the Pharmaceutical Installation of Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province, procurement of drugs
through official distributors (verified and validated) was carried out by PPTK based on proposals from the
Pharmaceutical Installation. This is in accordance with the results of the study:
The informant named Yunus Tobing, S.Si, Apt as Head of Pharmaceutical Installation stated:
"Procurement of drugs is made according to the needs of users such as doctors, nurses and other health
workers and in the procurement process there is a so-called PPTK can correct drugs that are ordered a lot or a little.
I only submit proposals per month that see a lot of patient diagnoses and drug vacancies in the warehouse". (interview,
December 12, 2022)
From the results of procurement interviews conducted at Undata Hospital according to needs. Doctors, nurses
or other health workers are made in need every month. PPTK in this case helps to carry out the correction of drugs
ordered a lot or a little.
The informant was named Apt. Muhammad Tamrin Tahir. as the Technical Implementation Officer of Activities
stated:
"Procurement is carried out according to monthly proposals from pharmaceutical installations, many factors
must be considered and must be quickly executed because distributors for shipments come no longer than 2-3 weeks.
So that there can be a vacancy in the pharmaceutical warehouse" (interview, December 12, 2022
From the interview results, it is proven that the procurement process is carried out through monthly proposals
from pharmaceutical installations. However, there are obstacles faced by the procurement party such as the occurrence
of drug vacancies or the slow delivery process carried out by drug distributors, therefore hospitals must have solutions
in dealing with these problems.
One of the hospital solutions also collaborates with pharmacies outside the hospital, in this case, Apotik Kimia
Farma to overcome if the hospital's drug stock is empty.
The informant named Apt. Yerry Kuingu, S, Si, M.Kes as the Head of the Outpatient Depot stated:
"If empty drugs are given a delay sign and the telephone number of the person in charge of hospital drug logistics in
the etiquette and we also cooperate with Kimia Farma Pharmacy just in case the stock of drugs in the pharmaceutical
depot runs out / empty. If the drug is not also available in the pharmaceutical pharmacy, then we still provide the drug
if later the drug has entered the warehouse" (interview, January 24, 2023)
The results of the interview proved that there was cooperation with pharmacies to maintain drug vacancies at
the pharmaceutical installation depot. Empty drugs are given a delay mark on the etiquette or direct the patient to the
pharmaceutical chemical dispensary.
The informant named Apt. Enni Ratnasari, S.Farm as the Head of Logistics stated:
"Usually if there are empty drugs in the warehouse and there is a request from the pharmacy depot, it is
usually directed to the Kimia Farma Pharmacy, if indeed there is also no one in the Kimia Farma pharmacy, we delay
giving the medicine while waiting for the drugs to come in from PBF. (interview, January 09, 2023)
The results of the interview proved that, drug vacancies in pharmaceutical warehouses and pharmaceutical
depots directed patients to pharmacies kimia farma, if there were no kimia farma pharmacies, there would be delays in
administering drugs until waiting for drugs to enter from PBF.

4. Conclusion
Based on the results of research on the management of logistic o bat services in the hospital environment of
Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province, has not run optimally, because of the 4 aspects used as analysis knives
from Siagian Theory concluded that:
Planning in terms of procurement, storage and distribution of drugs has not gone well delivery comes for a
maximum of 2-3 weeks, it is due to expedition routes from outside the city of Palu, so there is a shortage of drugs and
patient prescriptions are not served. Drug storage has not been maximized with less large warehouse space. The
distribution of drugs has not been maximized with empty drug stocks. Organizing has been done effectively with
human resources as expected. Briefing can be carried out by the head of the pharmaceutical installation who
coordinates with the supporting field in directing employees to work well. In supervision, coordination meetings are
held in reporting performance, achievements, and constraints that occur in the field.
Based on the results of the research conducted and the conclusions that have been described, it is
recommended as follows: 1. In the provision of drugs, the constraints that occur must be calculated so that there is no
drug vacuum, can coordinate with PBF as a distributor so as to anticipate drug shortages both from delays in the
delivery process and empty drug raw materials. 2. The distribution of empty drugs and postponement of their
administration to patients can be given the widest possible information on how to get drugs in a short time. 3. Consider
empty drugs given to underprivileged patients who use BPJS to be obtained, procure drugs from chemical pharmacies
or purchase directly. 4. Storage of pharmaceutical supplies requires a larger place than the current warehouse so that
incoming drug stocks from distributors can accommodate all incoming goods. 5. For further researchers, it is better to
conduct research on drug logistics management variables that are not careful in this study and the effectiveness of
using the e-catalog system in managing the effectiveness of using drug electronic control systems
